Aircraft are not pushed back for take off, they are pushed back from their bay onto the taxiway.

This is required, either because they are facing a stand, or their bay is downhill from the taxiway and they need a "little" help.

Some aircraft - C-17 - C-130 do not need this as they have their own "reverse".

This is to allow the airplane to rotate when it is taking off. (Rotating is when the pilot pulls back, raises the nose of the aircraft, and the aircraft rises into the air). If the aircraft did not have this raised tail-end, a "tail-strike" would happen, which damages the aircraft.
