A cow's diet of coarse plant material like grass is much harder to digest than that of an omnivore's or carnivore's diet. Thus it requires several steps in order for a cow (being a ruminant) to fully digest and absorb the nutrients from the plant matter that she eats. A simple stomach that secretes hydrochloric acid and peptidases just doesn't cut the mustard when it comes to having to digest a 100% forage/roughage diet. An animal, like humans, with only a simple stomach with no cecum would starve to death on coarse roughage like dried grasses and hay. Thus, a ruminant is more adapt and efficient at breaking down and utilizing the nutrients from such fodder sources as grass, clover, alfalfa, or even leaves from trees. The multiple chambers and the ability to regurgitate and rechew partly digested matter make it all the easier for that animal to efficiently digest and use the nutrients from the grass a bovine eats.

They don't. Cattle (cows included) only have one stomach with four compartments. See the related question below for why they have to have so many chambers in their digestive systems.
Cows are ruminants, meaning that they have four compartments to their stomachs and they chew their cud like deer or goats. Horses are not, which is why they can colic.
cows have four stomachs, as do sheep and goats
It means that they are ruminants and they are very capable of digesting roughage like grass, much more than us humans are.
