Because every component is linked to it (the motherboard), just like a child and a mother. Without a mother a child can't even be born and because of this people started calling it mother board. The actual name is main board.

What will happen if motherboard touches the cabinet's that side metal where mounting holes are located with out that yellow-gold colored heads and screws?
If a motherboard is installed without the use of standoffs (the yellow-gold colored heads) and instead is mounted directly to the case, then the motherboard will end up not working. It may be a temporary problem (put the standoffs in and remount and it works) or you may get to buy a new motherboard (FZZZZT POP!)
How do you keep a motherboard from touching the base of the metal case?
Usually, when you buy a computer case it comes with standoffs which get screwed on to the case (there's usually at least 6 and as many as 10) and then the motherboard sits on those standoffs instead of on to the case itself. The motherboard standoffs serve the purpose of avoiding direct contact between the motherboard and the case itself so as to avoid a possible electrical discharge which would in turn damage the motherboard. There are holes on the case where the standoffs should be placed.
What is the use of motherboard?
The motherboard is main part of CPU. All parts do connect with motherboard.
