The Sun constantly emits charged particles moving at high speed. This radiation doesn't affect us (much) here on the surface of Earth, though, because the Earth's magnetic field acts as a sort of "shield" that slows and deflects these particles.

Without the magnetic field, a lot more cosmic rays would reach the surface, and the mutation and cancer rates would skyrocket.

Where does the earths magnetic field originated from?

The Earth's magnetic field is generated by the the Earth's spin and the fact that it has molten iron in its core. When convecting molten metals spin they generate electric currents and with these a magnetic field.
