The neck, in the case of the Saxophone, is the starting point of the amplifiation of its sound. All necks on saxes are designed to play at their C sharp pitch (so that a C sharp will be played when no keys are held down, or in its C sharp alternate state where the first keys are not held down), being a concert B on Tenor and other B flat saxophones, and a concert E on the alto and other E flat saxophones. The individual key on the neck (it's sometimes located below the detachable neck on the bari) is a mechanism to bring notes A and higher up an octave, whereas a side key brings up notes D through G. The make of the neck can determine the clarity of the sound in some cases (a finer neck definitely makes for better sound execution than a poor quality neck!) as it is the primary amplifier of all sound on the instrument.
So, basically, in terms easier for the typical person to understand - it shapes and amplifies the sound.
