TB, its more helpful if you post a link:

It protects the underside of the engine a bit and helps keep stuff from flying up into the important area with all of those belts and moving bits. I recommend using it, or replacing it if you lost yours, but that is not to say that your car will get messed up if you didn't. Engine is just more protected and it can keep many fluids off of your garage floor too.
