The earth's crust protects the flora and fauna that inhabit the surface from the molten interior. However, the crust was not planned with a function or purpose. It was simply the result of the molten core solidifying when it came in contact with the cooler atmosphere - much in the same way that a skin can form on hot foods - eg porridge oats.
