It removes dust and debris to protect the engine, and is typically part of a two-stage filtration setup that also uses an inner safety filter (Wix 42254). When the filter becomes clogged, it can reduce engine performance and fuel efficiency, so it should be replaced at the OEM maintenance interval or when the air restriction indicator signals a dirty filter.
