The layer of fat, or blubber, around a walrus's body serves several essential functions. It provides insulation, helping to maintain body temperature in cold Arctic waters. Additionally, blubber serves as an energy reserve, supplying nutrients during periods when food is scarce. This adaptation is crucial for their survival in harsh environments.
The blubber protects the walrus from the cold.
The thick layer of blubber round their body is to insulate the walrus from the intense cold.
They use it to protect themselves from the cold, and from injury.

to keep warm
Walrus live in very cold water with ice. The blubber acts as a store of energy and also fat is a good insulator and traps heat inside the Walrus' body. This keeps them warm. Note, many marine mammals (whales, seals etc.) also use blubber in this way.
