They are used as a binder to hold all the other stuff together.

As you may know, water and oil don't mix. This is where eggs come in. The protien in the egg is able to break down the bonds in oil and water and allow them to mix. This allows your mix to, well, mix together so that it is a good consistency and will bake properly.

The eggs are to add some moisture and sort of hold it together

It's a binder. Kind of like making meatballs or meatloaf. Something has to hold it together.

Well, in cakes it helps it to have that springy, spongy, bounce to it.
