Yellow Pikmin are the second primary colored Pikmin you get in both games. (Notice primary, this excludes Purples and Whites.) They're also the only pikmin with ears.

Pikmin (1)

In Pikmin, the yellow species were available in The Forest of Hope from the dormant yellow onion. These Pikmin could carry bomb-rocks, which you could use to destroy stone gates and wooden gates (though they are needed to destroy stone gates), or attack enemies. Friendly fire could also prove fatal to your Pikmin. It was facinating on the yellow's knowledge of the use of bomb-rocks when in battle, and can be seen with use against a sleeping Bulborb, the first strike will be of the pikmin tossing the bomb-rock, thus waking the Bulborb, the second attack can be another thrown shot if a proper distance is acquired, or if the pikmin is near you, though it may not be responsible on the pikmin attacking. The other form of attacking is a more intriguing attack, and the second form will usually be when the bulborb comes at the pikmin, the pikmin will rush at the bulborb at such a precise timing, the bulborb will of course attempt to eat and miss thus making it vunerable for that short moment, and as the pikmin comes underneath the Bulborb, the pikmin will drop the bomb-rock right below the bulborb's feet, and then during the time of when the bomb-rocks will explode, the bulborb will regain control and maybe turn, thus giving the final blow. This second form could be determined by if the pikmin attempt to throw the bomb-rock, but from the distance between it and it's target will force it to move back, usually away from you just twice, then forcing it to rush, and after droping it's bomb-rock, it will return to you. Yellow pikmin will of course return to you when a second pikmin drops a bomb-rock at a gate, and the first yellow holding the bomb-rock will return to you to avoid being engulfed in the blast.

Pikmin 2

In Pikmin 2, you found them in the Perplexing Pool after a very long path. You need whites to get them. Instead of carrying bomb-rocks, they instead were made immune to electricity, hence their color.

In both games, the Yellow Pikmin are able to be thrown very high, as this was needed to retrieve some parts/treasures. However, this is just because of their ears, which have aerodynamic properties. This doesn't mean they run faster than Red Pikmin or Blue Pikmin.
