A:
Scripture and tradition reveal what people believed in an earlier time in history. They may reveal some things of historical substance.
Another answer:
Jesus, speaking to those for whom the Scriptures were written, reveals that they abandon the Scriptures for the sake of keeping their own preferred traditions.
"...'You hypocrites! Isaiah was prophesying about you when he said, These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far away. Their worship is a farce, for they replace God's Commands [Scripture] with their own man-made teachings [traditions]. For you ignore God's specific laws and substitute your own traditions. Then He said, You reject God's laws in order to hold on to your own traditions." (Mark 7:6-9 NLT New Living Translation)
To this day, although the ancient Scriptures are still with us and many people pay them "lip service" -- the equally ancient customs and traditions of the past pagan empires of man [the most popular of which revolve around the various observances and celebrations of the season changes] supercede and override the commands of the Scriptures in the hearts of most men.
So, both Jesus Christ and the ways of modern society reveal that the observance of, and obedience to, the Scriptures has always taken a back seat to the observance and keeping of our traditions.

Catholic AnswerScripture and Tradition reveal the Word of God (in other words, Jesus Christ) to us. Originally the entire revelation of God to mankind was given to the Apostles, who, later, as part of their teaching, wrote down what is now known as the New Testament. Both Sacred Scripture and Holy Tradition transmit in its entirety the Word of God which has been entrusted to the apostles by Christ the Lord and the Holy Spirit. See paragraphs 78, 80-83, 95, and 97 of the Catechism. See link below.

Why does the Church need both Scripture and Tradition?
Catholic AnswerThe Church needs Tradition because that is what Our Blessed Lord gave Her. She needs Scripture because She inherited the Old Testament from the Jews, ultimately from God, and Tradition gave Her the New Testament. They are both the Word of God, which means that, in a very real sense, they are Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. But in the end, Tradition (with a captial "T") is what God gave us, all Scripture came out of Tradition and the New Testament expressly tells us that we must abide by Tradition and Scripture.
