The short answer is; it prevents the helicopter from spinning. The long answer is quite long and probably more than you are interested in at this point.
I did some aircraft accident investigation in one of my jobs and we had to know how an aircraft operated to make any attempt at explaining why it crashed.
Oh yeah, there is a site on the web that explains how things work. Try the site listed below. If you still don't understand, contact me through my profile, send your email address and I will try to explain all the whys of the tail rotor to you.
