It's never explicitly stated but it appears that a wizard's staff is partially a badge of office, a sign that one is a member of the order of wizards (hence Saruman charging Gandalf with coveting the staffs of the five wizards and Gandalf breaking Saruman's staff immediately upon casting him from the order). The staffs also appear to be magical objects through which at least some of a wizards magic is invoked.
