To create more friction.
That allows them to put more power into their steps and more power into their strokes. It also makes them more precise in their steps.
More friction = more power because energy is NOT being used on pushing the backward on the ground (very very loosely speaking).

<>The stuff is rosin, and it makes their shoes sticky so they get better traction on the court. It's the same stuff baseball pitchers use to get a good grip on the ball.
