Why are there tops and bottoms in lesbian relationships?

You often see lesbians calling themselves and others a top or bottom but neither has a dick (I prosume) so why are there tops and bottoms?
Also is it really that common to have these labels?

    I think that they mean the dominant and submissive when they refer to top/bottom.

    These labels are common in fiction - yaoi and yuri - but it doesn’t work like that in reality. Most lesbians don’t follow a role, they are versatile I would say. And when it comes to gay men, it’s kinda the same, a majority is switch.

    I kinda thought so. The majority of real people I see using the term seem young and likely inexperienced

    Top and bottom refer to whoever is giving pleasure and receiving it, it’s not about dom/sub as you can have a sub top or a dom bottom
