Why do you put rossin on a bow?

Putting rossin on a bow lets the hair grip the strings to make them vibrate, without any rossin the strings don't make any noticeable sound. When I first got my viola I tried it once, it kind of sounded like breathing, but rossin goes a long way and you don't have to rossin your bow much.
