Each one is related to the prophecy it utters: the warrior head warns about Macduff; the child covered in blood from being delivered by C-section, warns about someone "not of woman born"; the child with a crown represents the son of a king, that is, Malcolm, and, while assuring Macbeth that he cannot be defeated until a forest comes to Dunsinane, by carrying a tree he shows how that could happen.

The witches introduce the idea of his being king to Macbeth, or at least make the idea concrete for him. They put fate or destiny on his side.In other words, it is possible that Macbeth had entertained thoughts of being king before he meets the witches. It may even be likely, though there is no concrete or absolute evidence of this. But the witches give him corroboration for his thoughts, if he was having them, and, more importantly, tell him that it is his destiny to be king. That's all Macbeth, and his wife, for that matter, need to begin devising a plan and putting it into action. And this plan, of course, involves killing the present king.The meeting, in foul weather and filled with mysteries (the weird sisters seem to vanish, for example), also furthers the themes of appearance and reality and fair and foul. Throughout the play, people and circumstances are often not as they seem. The theme of the supernatural is also furthered.The problem Macbeth has throughout the play with Banquo is developed here, too--since Banquo is present, he knows the predictions made by the witches, and will therefore naturally suspect Macbeth of treachery when Duncan is killed. And Macbeth knows it. This makes Banquo a threat to him, which will lead Macbeth to order his killing, which leads more and more people to suspect Macbeth.
