How can prepared statements protect from SQL injection attacks?

How do prepared statements help us prevent SQL injection attacks?

Wikipedia says:

Prepared statements are resilient against SQL injection, because
parameter values, which are transmitted later using a different
protocol, need not be correctly escaped. If the original statement
template is not derived from external input, SQL injection cannot
occur.

I cannot see the reason very well. What would be a simple explanation in an easy English and some examples?
