to provide 'over current' protection due to overload or failure of the appliance, device and also the associated wiring.
If the appliance or device draws more current than allowed, the fuse will melt first and open the circuit thus stopping the flow of current. Without a fuse there would be no limit to the current being drawn, the device and also the wires feeding it could overheat or even catch fire.
The plug provides a convenient location for the fuse and also allows the fuse to be appropriately sized for the particular device being used.

Why fuses used in plugs are colour coded?
Fuses in plugs are color-coded to indicate their current rating and provide a quick visual reference for users. Each color corresponds to a specific amperage, making it easier to select the appropriate fuse for a given appliance's power requirements. This helps prevent overloading and potential electrical hazards, ensuring safety and proper functioning of the device. Additionally, color coding aids in the identification of fuses during replacements or inspections.
