In fantasy literature Witches' have magical powers that allow them to make the broom fly.
However...
In real Witchcraft traditions however, the broom or besom serves a variety of purposes; its primary function is to symbolically sweep away negative energy (or purify and protect the people living in the house, as well as the house itself), and to bring good luck (if the bristles are turned up off the floor after use; or if the broom is jumped over during a life-changing event.) Also, many Witches have non-ceremonial brooms for the same purposes other people have them, to sweep dirt off of the floor.
