This coating swells in water to help keep the eggs afloat. to stay moisterized storage fertilization To nourish the eggs and to defend against predators so they can't eat them it makes them slippery and taste bad
if a predator comes by, and it tries to eat the eggs, (such as a parrot snake) some of the eggs slide out of the mouth of the predator and hatch early.
