Firstly, Page List and ValueList is property types such as for example Page, Single Property, Page Group, etc. You can create property any type applies to any class, for example @baseclass.
Code-Pega-List is class. Class consist of several properties any types (Page, Page List, etc.). You can open class Code-Pega-List in application explorer and see it.
pxResults is a Page List type property of Code-Pega-List class.
Code-Pega-List is a core class for Pega Platform. Many rules used it, such as methods in activity rule (Obj-Browse), report definition rule, etc. This class contains standard logic, for example count of elements in page-list contain in property .pxResults. I think that my answer help you understand.
and coming to your question: Where we use this? Its importance in pega.
There are a number of functions, activity-methods (obj-browse being a popular one!) and functions that return Code-Pega-Lists. Here is what is useful to know about them:
1) The actual elements in the list are within the .pxResults list within the page whose class is Code-Pega-List.
2) Often (but not always!), the number of elements available in .pxResults is stored in another property called .pxResultCount.

@AbhishekC1725 In brief, it represents array (infinite) of records.
For eg: we want to get list of employees who completed 5 years in an organization for sending an mail.
We could use a temp page FifthAnnEmployees to be used by the report definition which fetches employees who joined 5 years from now. Report definition would run the query & put SQL results to FifthAnnEmployees.pxResults list

@Byshu in addition to this correct explanation, please, make sure you define the top level page in the pages and classes as well as the pxResults class. I learned to make it like this:
| PageName | Class |
| MyTopLevelPage | Code-Pega-List |
| MyTopLevelPage.pxResults | MY-Class-Structure |
hope this is correct. Please let me know if/why not in case of. This also helps putting the information in context so that you can access it from the clipboard. Regards,

@krishnakanthc16599540 it is the out of the box property used for storing the list's results. Why we need to define it in the pages and clases? Because we start of in Code-Pega-List (that tells the PRPC that this is going to be a page list) then each result that you store within the .pxResults property needs to have the context where you are working on. So that if you iterate through the pxResults you can find the rules that you have defined for the logic in the context of your application.
