Test tube holders have much more use in Biology than in chemistry. They can allow you to (micro)pipette into many samples at once and generally support many reactions. They allow a test tube to stand up unassisted in a waterbath. The reason a test tube is curved at the bottom, i'd imagine is because if the bottom was square, the grooves would catch and adhere samples and also samples could not be vortexed.

A test tube holder or rack is used in a laboratory to hold or support test tubes containing chemicals or other contents awaiting further operations. Although it is called a test tube holder, it is also used to hold/support pipettes, etc. Since a test tube has a rounded bottom, it cannot stand by itself; the rack is a convenient and necessary piece of laboratory equipment for the storage of test tubes.
