The tail of an airplane serves many purposes during flight.
First of all, it provides stability on the lateral and vertical axes. It also serves as the mounting point for the rudder and elevators, the control surfaces which control the aircraft on the lateral and vertical axes.
Additionally on most aircraft, the tail provides a certain amount of downforce to act as a counterweight to the engine located in the front.
It should be noted however, that in my answer above I am referring only to standard-configured aircraft, there are some types of aircraft where the elevators and horizontal stabilizer (or tail-plane) is located on the front of the aircraft rather than on the tail, this is called a "canard" type configuration.
