Anil,

In simple terms,

Adapters are basically convertors from one form of message to another. XI rely highly on SOAP based XML messages to commuicate between components.

for example: consider you have a data in file to be sent to SAP system.

Here intially File adapter is used to convert the data in file to SOAP based XML message (native to XI) and once the processing is done the data is deliverd to SAP system via RFC, now the RFC adapter is used to convert the SOAP based XML data to RFC based structure.

Hope it helps to understand the Adapters concept at basic level, it can do much more than described!
