Why war tanks move on caterpillar tracks which are broad and chain like and cover wheel?
Weight distribution. Tracks - caterpillar and band tracks both - spread the weight over a much broader area, reducing ground pressure. Were they on tires, tanks would have much greater ground pressure, and would be much more prone to sinking into the ground.
Why does the excavator need caterpillars to work properly?
They don't need caterpillar tracks in order to function - there are wheel loaders. The purpose of the caterpillar tracks is mobility... excavators are quite heavy, and, as they're often operating on unimproved surfaces (e.g., bare earth), that surface can be very readily prone to sinking under the weight of the vehicle. Caterpillar tracks distribute the weight over a much more broad area than tires (look at the length of a track where it makes contact with the ground.. the weight's distributed over that.. now look at a vehicle with wheels and compare how much surface is in contact with the ground), creating a much lower overall ground pressure.
