The phyllo dough is so thin that if you don't keep it covered, it will dry out and you will not be able to use it because it will crack so easily. The damp towel keeps the moisture in. You do not want a wet towel as that will turn the phyllo into "mush" so wet your towel and ring it out until it isn't dripping or soggy but not completely dry either. Good luck and enjoy ;-)
