Fat, or adipose tissue as it is called when it is stored in the body, is much like a foam cushion. It is an excellent shock absorber and provides natural 'cushioning' to vital organs. One good example is the greater and lesser omentum. They are often referred to as fatty aprons and protect organs like the liver and stomach.
