To be more organized, to save space. Because DNA is so long, the cell compacts them using histones to form nucleosomes, which are again compacted to form the chromosomes. This way, the cell can save more space while it is undergoing mitosis or meiosis.

What are the differences between DNA and chromosomes?
DNA stands for Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid. It is double stranded and consists of nucleotides, Phosphoric acid and Ribose sugar. In a chromosome there is the presence of long chain of DNA folded together. If, thus folded DNA is stretched it can be 2-3 m long. Segments of the DNA chain to be precise the groups of base pairs are the gens which governs the characters. Hence, chromosome consists of DNA and in DNA, there is the presence of various types of genes.
What is the link between DNA and chromosomes?
