Software packages often require other programs are installed, or recommend that they will work better with them. These will then normally be automatically installed at the same time.

One way to find out why a program is installed is to ask on the command-line why.

aptitude why imagemagick

which will probably give an answer like:

i   PACKAGE Recommends imagemagick

which is the first installed package it found that recommended or required it.
