The form can present the layout of data much better than a datasheet. Without a form you have a single row of data, stretching off the end of the screen. You have to scroll over to see the other fields. If it is on a form, the individual fields can be positioned around the screen, so that everything can be seen. Similar elements, like different lines of an address, can be positioned close together. Forms also enable you to do other things, like put buttons on them, or put calculations on them. A datasheet just lets you see the data. A form can do far more than that. A datasheet can let you see more than one record at a time, which can be useful at times. Forms are usually designed to show one record at a time, though it is possible to get them to show more than one record.

In datasheet view, all fields are always presented. Forms can be designed with just some fields shown, when others are not particularly relevant. So you could have a form that just shows the name, address, date of birth and other details about a person, and on another form just have their name and other details instead, like their job, department, salary etc. So you can design different forms to show different parts of your overall data, which can't be done on a datasheet normally. So forms are far more user friendly than working in a datasheet view and give you much more flexibility and many special features.
