Oxygen is an element. It exists without need of having a function.

Oxygen does do many different things. It provides energy to the cellular system. It combines with hydrogen to form water. It combines with carbon to form carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. It combines with itself to form a 3-oxygen molecule called ozone that helps make smog when in the lower atmosphere and helps shield the surface from ultraviolet radiation when in the upper atmosphere.

It combines with many other elements to form a wide variety of compounds that have very different properties.
