Why breakdown subatomic particles?

It would be easier to accurately answer this question if you gave a specific particle but in general, we gain a greater understanding of particles as we examine the structure the the mass consist of. For example, we have matter and matter is made of atoms or molecules. At higher magnifications, atoms and molecules start to manifest, arrange in a certain order, which defines the shape of a solid. When we go deeper, we see the atomic structure, such as a proton, that is made up of even more subatomic particles like quarks that are held together by gluons. So, we breakdown subatomic particles and examine their structure to gain a deeper understanding of what the particle consist of, how it reacts to different environments and conditions, and with the greatest hope, to learn what could have and how they were first created.
