You should do them as you progress. Some of the best gear/gems/boss fights are in the chalice dungeons.

Simple version: they're a procedurally generated dungeon option for players that want more Bloodborne than what they already have, that also has some neat rewards and weapon variants.

Complicated version: they're maybe portals to past instances of civilizations that attempted to contact or make a pact with an elder god that each ended in their own unique horrible way because elder gods generally fuck things up when you summon them.

It's just to add some dungeon crawling action to an already good game

I like them cus it adds to replayability in ng+ and stuff. Also best gems are from chalice dungeons iirc

But why are there 4 differents types such a Loran? How do I know if it is a pre-generated dungeon or a randomized? Is it true that there are 2 different chalices, a root and ___ ?

The different types have different tilesets so they look different as well as different rewards. IIRC I think only the very first one you do for story purposes is pre-generated, all the other ones are randomized.

As for your 2 types, there are a bunch of types. The names reflect the difficulty, or "depth" of the chalice.
