It is kind of like a mixing process.Most tea bags are flow through which means the water flows over them and when you raise the bag,the water runs out and now you dunk them again and the water flows over again which is constantly allowing air to mix and help pull the fflavor out of the bag.this is also why you have a white foam around a picture of fresh made tea.It is from the air and after a while the air will rise to the top of the tea .

Brewing tea is an extraction process. That is the hot water disolves flavor and color components from the tea leaves as it contacts them. Dunking the tea bag exposes the tea leaves to more water speeding up the process.

Dunking it makes the water flow across the dried leaves as opposed to just sitting there... drawing the tea out of the leaves.
You can get a similar effect by pouring the water slowly over the bag.

2 reasons:
1>The surface tension of the water as the tea bag passes through the surface of the hot water, pulls at the tea leaves. This makes the tea particles enter the water faster and in greater quantity
2> the movement creates turbulence in the water which helps distribute the particles, leaving more room near the tea bag for more particle to leave it.

It allows more water to flow through the ground tea leaves. As a result, the tea brews faster.

the dunking process insures that the hot water will flow into and out of the teabag and complete the process of leeching the tea from the leaves into the water faster.
Consider this:
If there was absolutely no water movement, how long would it take to make it uniformly 'tea'?

because tea leaves (the main component in tea bags) are very very sensitive to motion therefore dunking causes then to release many many many more times the tiny flavor buds in the water then leaving the bag still in the water does.

I don't think it speeds it up, but it increases the dispersal of the Tea's essence.
It's also something to do while you wait.

It doesn't. It just mixes up the tea with the water.
