∙ 11y agoA CPU socket is a mechanical connection that holds the CPU and allows it to communicate with the motherboard. Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) sockets will have a leaver at the side that allows the user to remove the CPU chip easier. They also contain a load plate that will hold the CPU in place, allowing maximum contact with the heat sink.
Depending on the CPU being installed, the socket will have either small holes (for PGA CPUs) or metal contacts (for LGA CPUs).

What is the function of a socket processor?
"Socket" is what you call the frame the processor is seated on. There's "socket A processors" for example, maybe that is what you mean. They perform the same task as any other processor, they just happen to fit on a normed socket called "socket A". A socket has no processor of its own, it just connects the CPU to the motherboard.
