Forms aren't coupled with database tables. Forms just gather information from the user and you have to program how that information gets stored.
view file

Code:

<form>
<input type="text" name="field1">
<input type="text" name="field2">
<input type="submit" value="send">
</form>

controller

Code:

if(isset($_POST))
{
    // validation
    $this->load->model('Somemodel','',true);
    $this->Somemodel->insert($_POST);
}

model

Code:

function insert($post)
{
    $this->db->query('insert into table1 (field1) values (?)',array($post['field1']));
    $this->db->query('insert into table2 (field1) values (?)',array($post['field2']));
}

This is example code so don't use this for production sites. I hope this gets you on your way.

Models are where you store all the functions that have to do with database manipulation. It is a part of the MVC pattern which is used by CI to create easier to maintain sites. CI does other things too but this is the heart of the framework.

The creation of models isn't much different that creating a controller you just extend the Model class instead of the Controller class.
