It's for texturing objects. You 'unwrap' the UV (texture) coords onto a single flat texture, which you can then export as an image, giving you have a line guide showing the polygon edges. This enables you easily position your texture parts and create a texture faster, as you don't have to constantly apply it to your model to see if your texture lines up with the desired polygons.
