It makes it more streamlined and reduces drag and it keeps it on a good flight path and a good trajectory. Also if it falls down, it keeps it stable and on the front where it will hit the floor first it will be reinforced in some sort of way.

It also helps with balance and stability, the same way that a three-legged stool is more stable than something with only two legs (like people.)
