ELI5: if cheese comes from milk, how do we get so many types of cheeses?

I understand that there's feta that comes from goats milk,  but things like Monterey Jack,  and cheddar and even sub sets like white cheddar; it's all milk but how do they make so many different types of it?

Different cultures added to the milk make it form slightly different curds. Changing the salt content will alter the flavor too. Cheese is basically a recipe like anything else. If you take flour, baking powder, milk, and eggs you can make all kinds of stuff even though the ingredients are all the same.
