Imagine a jump rope! When you flick one end, the wave travels to the other end. What happens when it reaches the end depends on if it's tied (fixed) or free!
When you pluck a guitar string, the tiny wave moves until it meets the bridge (fixed end). Some of its energy is transferred to the bridge, which makes the body of the guitar vibrate. Those vibrations become sound waves that fill the room with music! So next time you hear a guitar, remember the waves!
