Kittens meow to alert their mother to their presence and inform her they need something... much like a baby's cry.
Adult cats do not normally meow to each other. They meow to humans for much the same reasons that kittens meow at their mothers. It seems to be learned behavior, since adult feral cats don't usually do it; cats are fairly bright, and pet cats learn that reminding their people it's time to feed (or pet, or play with) the kitty sometimes pays off.
One of my cats sometimes meows because she seems to think it's expected of her. When a human pauses speaking but keeps looking at her, she apparently figures it's her turn to say something, so she meows. When she's in the right mood, she will happily play this game for several minutes at a stretch.
The other one, who is less social, sometimes meows at people who approach her in the apparent hope that if she acknowledges our existence vocally, we'll leave her alone and go on about our business.
