They have two main functions;
1) For allowing excess liquid to drain away
2) As a measure, well - I'm not sure if this works for all wooden spoons but I've seen one where the middle circle can be used as a measure for one serving of spaghetti; very handy.

depends on the kind of holes
many small holes = drainage
one large hole = you place the egg in it when boiling eggs so you can remove the egg easily
a few holes varying in size = for the measuring of pasta

To drain liquid when you are serving food. There are some dishes that you would like to limit the amount of sauce.

it helps to mix the food better and incorporate more movement in the bowl, a little bit of aeration too
