So that computer bots aren't spamming the site.
The reCAPTCHA code is to make sure you're an actual person and not an automated spammer.
A reCAPTCHA code is a form of CAPTCHA - Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. CAPTCHAs are a form of Turing test - this is a test made by a British man named "Alan Turing", designed to test an ability for a computer or machine to display intelligent behaviour. However, CAPTCHAs are specifically designed to be difficult to interpret by computers. This is usually used to prevent computers from automatically signing up for a mail account, for example, millions of times. Disputably, reCAPTCHA is the most popular CAPTCHA system currently in use. reCAPTCHA attempts to glean another benefit out of making people enter seemingly arbitrary words into their browsers: they also help in the digitalization of old books!
