it allows air to flow through them during the cooking process which makes the cracker lighter and flakier.

The holes allow steam to escape from the dough in the hot oven. That keeps them from puffing up during cooking. If they puff up, they don't look like crackers anymore.

Some crackers need them so they will not break during baking... it depends on the type of cracker.

It minimizes the chance of the cracker getting really big bubbles when it's baking, and exploding.

Makes them bake faster and more evenly.

so they will bake flat - otherwise they bend and twist with the heat
