The purpose of a filter paper in a laboratory is to more or lessseparatemixtures. (e.g. sand and water- the sand isn't soluble, and therefore won't dissolve in the water. Therefore, filter paper can easily be used toseparatethe two).

Filter paper (filtration) isn't the most efficient way toseparatemixtures that don't dissolve together, but it gets most of the job done.
