What is the function of motherboard to computer system?

The motherboard is where most of the processing takes place. The central Processor chip is nearly always on the motherboard. So too is the memory and supporting circuitry. ROM chips and connectors for the controlling switches are found here.

The motherboard usually has slots, or connectors for daughter boards, for additional i/o devices and other add ons (so the daughter boards work for the mother!). Devices which are made to be easily upgraded (swappable) can be put onto its own sub-board in an expansion slot. For example, video boards can be substantially speedier and more functional than another one, and it is convenient to be able to switch one without requiring swapping the entire motherboard (if the video was built into it). PCI is one type of connection to a daughter board. Other interfaces, like networking or sound or another processor, can be found on a daughter board.

In summary, the motherboard contains some critical components of the system, with connections to other devices to complete the system.
