The oil provides lubrication for all the moving parts within the engine. It also helps in cooling the engine. The oil filter cleans the oil of all contaminates.

As stated. The oil filters job is to clean the oil. But it should be changed at every oil change. While cleaning it builds up deposits of crud in the filter. Some filters have a bypass valve. That will dump dirty oil back into the engine when they are clogged up. This is not good but it does it to save the engine. But if you change the filter as you should this will not be a problem

The air filter has the same job for the intake air. A clogged air filter will cause poor performance of your engine. So keep it clean and changed on a regular schedule. Never run an engine without a filter. This can lead to major engine damage.
