According to animal behaviorists, the reason is amazingly enough NOT that they are just sharpening their claws. Research on cat behavior suggests that the major reason for this behavior is communication. By roughing up the bark of a tree, or the leg of your favorite chair, the cat is letting other cats or people (which they see as a form of different, food-bearing cat anyway) know where she is and what she is up to. Cats will therefore scratch by preference something easily scratchable and they usually limit themselves to a few 'favorite' scratching spots they will keep revisiting.
