What is it for?

To determine a "winner" using the fairest method possible in the event of a tied score.

If you are interested in the method used in Chess.com tournaments, read this, which comes from the Help page:

What happens when there is a tied score? And what is the Tie Break?

There are various tie breaks used in tournaments. The TD states which ones will be used and in what order.
