Snakes don't have a very good sense of smell through their noses, the tongue has a sensor in it that the snake can "sense" danger, food, water and more things they need to survive. Without the tongue the snake wouldn't last too long

How does the snake tongue help them to survive?

The tongue is used to help the snake find food and to respond to its environment. It can sense a source of heat with the tongue telling it if there is an animal near or danger. Some snakes have a gland behind the tongue that allows them to spit venom. The cobra is one snake that can do this.
