A thermostat is a temperature sensitive "door". If your car did not have one, the coolant would be circulating all the time and the engine would take a long time to warm up to optimum operation temperature. The Thermostat stays closed until the engine gets warm and then opens when it starts getting hot to allow the coolant to flow through the radiator and cool down.
