The BIOS tests and initializes the hardware and provides BIOS services for software to use. Along with the BIOS is the CMOS which allows you to setup and configure the computer and to recognize the hard drives.
The easier question would be what IS a reason to update. If your software or hardware does not support the functions they were meant to and your BIOS has firmware that can make it function, then this is reason enough to consider flashing yur BIOS. Upgrading BIOS is something you simply don't do on a whim as you could adversely compromise behavior and possibly indirectly damage other hardware.
