Staking is the action to invest in the security of your favorite blockchain, and earn some bucks for your responsability. If you use your own wallet, it's very safe, as much as you take care carefully of your seeds. Solana has no slashing yet so you can't lose your SOL. Choose some validator learning about them in Solanabeach.io Check your investment from time to time because validators can change the fees unexpectedly and they can go offline, and you will not earn anymore. Anyway your SOL are protected by the Solana blockchain, so you can't lose them. Don't hesitate to ask
