I'll try to make it more clear: PNG format supports a lot of different combinations of channels: if you want, you can read more in depths in the format description.
Generally people care about two types: PNG8 (8bit per pixel, 256 colors) and PNG24 (24bit bit per pixel, Truecolor). Note that when you have a document in Photoshop that says 8bit, it's 8bit ...
