Transformer cores are made up of insulated laminations to cut down on eddy currents induced in the core, which is an unwanted power-loss.
Transformer cores are chosen to limit eddy currents, which cause heating and losses in the core. Very thin laminations minimize this overhead cost of running a transformer by reducing losses associated with eddy currents.

Presumably, you are asking "What is the function of transformer laminations?", rather than their "uses".A transformer's magnetic circuit, or core, is made from thin sheets of silicon steel, each insulated from each other, and termed laminations.The alternating current flowing through a transformer's primary winding not only induces a voltage into the secondary windings, but into the core itself, resulting in circulating currents, called eddy currents, which result in energy losses. The very low cross-sectional area of each lamination acts to offer a high resistance to the flow of these eddy currents, thus minimising these currents, and the associated eddy-current losses.

Runoff causes sheet erosion which means removing a thin sheet of topsoil.
It is the thin line a saw cuts in material.
They are thin and precise.
Thinner cuts of meat cook more quickly. Using thin cuts of meat may also ensure that it gets thoroughly cooked in the center.
