To keep the water out. Water is the No. 1 enemy of concrete.
Sealing it will keep the water from getting into the reinforcing steel and rusting it, which will crack the concrete and render it useless.
And if the concrete is exposed to cold weather, keeping the water out is important because water freezing inside cracks will expand and make the cracks bigger.
Hope this helps.
Aloha.

** what is the purpose of acrylic sealant on a concrete slab? the slab is the basis of a basketball/volleyball court **
Acrylic sealer is a simple, single-component polymer that is either water-based or solvent- based. It provides moderate water infiltration protection, some stain resistance, although it is easily scratched.
Enjoy the court and have a pleasant day.
