The Silk Road supplied many places of trade and commerce. It is what gave them things such as precious stones, a type of metal finish, and ivory, and what gave others things such as jade, silk, and iron. Hope this helps! (:
The Silk Road was probably not planned ahead of time, and then uses were found for it afterwards. It is all about trade. Trade began to develop expand, and trade routes natually followed. It is not called the SILK road for nothing; silk was an amazingly popular and valuable commodity.
The Silk Road was trade routes from China, Korea, and India across Asia to southern Europe. It brought silks and spices to Europe who wanted them so badly that when the Silk Road was cut off, the Europeans looked for alternate routes to find these goods. This led to ships going around Africa and later going west to the New World.
The importance of the Silk Road in ancient China was so that trade and the economy to grow and prosper. The Silk Road was used to spread ideas or improvements to make life a little bit better. Also, the Silk Road was designed to trade with other countries or cities all across central Asia. This proved to be a wonderful feature because everyone was able to show off some of the nifty things they had and trade it for something else, such as China's silk and porcelain. I hope that I've helped out a little bit. :D

silk road The trade routes that connected China to Rome and other parts of Europe were collectively called "the Silk Road" after one of the most valuable products that came from China along those trade routes. The German terms "Seidenstraße" and "Seidenstraßen"- 'the Silk Road(s)' or 'Silk Route(s) were first used in 1877 by a German geographer, Baron Ferdinand von Richtofen, who made several expeditions to China. The English term "The Silk Road" has come into general use but it is something of a misnomer; there was not just one route, rather there were several routes that might combine portions of land routes and water routes. Also, they incorporated trade routes to other areas of Asia including Southeast Asia and the "Spice Islands" in the area we now know as Indonesia. Usually these routes passed through other important trade cities along the way so they were not just trade between China and Europe; they traded goods all along the way.
