wp_users is the primary table, with a fixed list of columns.
wp_usermeta is an additional table for storing arbitrary information (custom fields).
The wp_users table already has a user_email column, so I don’t know why the plugin uses wp_usermeta. The best person to ask would be the plugin author himself.
