Pickled ginger is traditionally served with sushi for a few reasons. One is that it aids digestion. A second is that it cleans your palette, so if you eat some ginger after a flavorful roll you won't taste that roll on your next bite of nigiri.

Pickled ginger is a palette cleanser. If you eat it between sushi rolls you will not taste the flavor of the previous roll on the next roll. It is also good for digestion.
