A process called "burn-in" or "phosphor burn-in". Static images left on CRT monitors for too long will leave a residual print on the screen from the burning of the phosphor due to continuous exposure. The screensaver is an attempt to provide variation on the screen in order to prevent this from happening.

Why a screensaver is important in computers?

Screensavers have no beneficial effect for modern computers with non-CRT monitors. CRT monitors would experience screen burn-in...If the same image were displayed continuously, the image would become "burned-in" and remain visible. Modern screens do not suffer from this problem. Screensavers are simply decoration. Oddly enough, they can effectively shorten the life of your monitor if you change the settings to prevent the monitor from going into power-save sleep mode when the screensaver is running.

On macOS, go to "System Preferences," select "Desktop & Screen Saver," and customize your screensaver options.
