We copy it from some template and mostly don't even know it is there. These words tell the screen-readers what language to read. When your site is in English, there is no problem. But when you write your site in another language and you forget you actually have this tag, blind readers will have to listen to an English person reading another language like it is English... So be aware of this little tag that can mean the world to some visitors.

A bit earlier, I touched upon a screen-reader's hotkeys to jump from heading to heading. There are in fact many hotkeys like this to quickly jump to the nearest table, form field, link etc. Making sure these headings are actually in logical places is therefore a good practice and really decreases your assistive technology users' stress levels, which is good if you want visitors to keep coming back to your website.
