Turtles have rough skin primarily to provide protection from environmental factors and predators. The rough texture helps minimize water loss and offers a barrier against abrasions and injuries from their surroundings. Additionally, the skin can support the growth of algae and other microorganisms, which can provide camouflage and further protection. This adaptation is crucial for their survival in various habitats.
