You put the archives in a folder, and Wrye Mash automatically loads them. I think that the default is "Steam\SteamApps\common\Morrowind\WryeBashMods", and that it can be changed in the settings.

Also, not all mods are ready to be installed with Wrye Mash. I've had to restructure and repack a bunch of mods to make them work.

This should help you out.

It is a tutorial for installing mods with Wyre Bash, it is only a couple of minutes long.

What exactly is the benefit of using Wrye Mash vs mod install manually?

Reports conflicts before the installation, easy to cleanly(-ish) uninstall a mod, and can combine drop lists from multiple mods (instead of the last mod that changes a particular drop list overwriting every other mod).

Also has a bunch of tools for cleaning saves, reporting differences between the active mod lists and the mod list of a save, and IIRC automatic activation of mods used in a save, if the current mod list doesn't match.

It's certainly not easy to use, but if you have more than a couple of mods, it's still an order of magnitude easier than manual mod management.

I use it to install mods and clean saves. This tool is a blessing
