The flaps, when extended, basically make the wing bigger which generates more lift. during takeoff, it helps to have as much lift as possible to aid the aircraft in it's ascent into the air. during taxiing, there is no real benefit to having the flaps out. the reason the flaps are extended during taxiing is to save time. if the flaps are extended while the plane is taxiing, it doesent have to do it later before it takes off.
