Why do you need to get down low when there is smoke in the room?

When there is a fire in an enclosed area the air in the room begins to heat up. Since heat rises, the smoke from the fire is pushed up with it. Smoke inhalation can have immediate consequences (ex: lack of oxygen; burning of the lungs) or, depending on the type of fire/smoke, it can also lead to long-term health problems. Staying close to the ground helps you inhale as little smoke as possible. Smoke can also be a hazard because it disorients you. If you look under the smoke you can see your surroundings more clearly.

Why is it important to keep low to the floor when escaping from a fire in a house?

Well, the first thing to do is always try to get out of the house. It is best to stay on the floor of the first story (if you cannot leave) because the smoke from the fire rises to the ceiling. If you inhale the smoke, it can kill you. Since it rises, staying on the ground should keep you from deadly smoke until you escape.
