A true scientific answer to this question cannot be given. The question assumes there is a function, although this can be seriously doubted.

From an evolutionary point of view, snakes (and all living beings) do not exists to have any function for mankind or whatever other being, but only because their bodies have provided good means for reproduction, given the circumstances these bodies have been exposed in their evolutionary past.

Palaeontologist have evidence that snakes have evolved from reptiles with legs and one could be surprised by the fact that they have benefited from loosing their legs.

Why do lizard and snakes need heat for?

Lizards and snakes are cold-blooded animals, meaning they rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature. This is essential for their metabolism to work effectively, allowing them to carry out basic biological functions such as digestion, movement, and overall survival.
