Some apps only are available on the Google market.
Rooting allows installing the Google proprietary apps that are not licensed for tablet use.
Rooting allows control of the Linux OS underlying the Android environment enabling some apps (system backup, for example) to be installed and run and others to be removed.
It is the difference between running as a User and running as Administrator on other OSes.
