In a word; it is a Shield.

Stratified squamous epithelium is constituded of primarily flat cells and is suited to lining a surface that is exposed to friction or abrasion regularly. It is usually a layer over the top of a base membrane and can be torn or broken and replaced before the membrane it it protecting is harmed.

Straified squamous epithelium can be further categorised into either posessing of being devoid of keratin. Non keartinised straified squamous epithelium must be moisutised by an external source (other than keratin) usually a bodily fluid to prevent them from becoming dehydrated and dying.

Non-Keratinised stratefied squamous epilelium can be found in the Cornias, inside of the mounth, Recum, Vagina etc.
