It' symbolic.
It's supposed to remind the one wearing the yarmulka that there is always a God above him.
Wearing a yarmulka is only required during prayer, however it's preferable to wear one at all times. Most Orthodox Jews wear Yarmulkas all the time with the exception of some Jews of Syrian descent.

To show humility before the deity. A man should not walk more than three steps without covering his head.

They are worn in respect to God to show they know themselves to be below Him.
