Generally there are two reasons people will choose to stain their wood. For interior wood it is for asthetic purposes. The wood is stained to a color that matches the general decour of the space in which the wood will be used.
For exterior wood, in addition to the asthetic benifits, the pigment in the stain will help to proitect the wood from UV damage caused by the sun.
