You cover food that's baking in the oven for several reasons. You can cover something to prevent your food from spilling onto the bottom of the oven or to prevent it from spitting juice/sauce onto the top of the oven. Another reason to cover your food is to keep the mositure in and prevent your food from drying out. The cover will trap the steam and cause it to turn back into condensation which creates a moist environment.
