The role of fungi (moulds, yeasts, slimes, mushrooms, etc.) in the cycle of life is to decompose organic matter and turn it back into carbon. They are sort of nature's recycling agent. The fungal cell is the second oldest organism on earth (the first is the viral cell).

The same as the purpose of any other sort of life: to make more of it.

to procreate and perpetuate its species - same as any other living organism.
If you want to know what functions it performs while fulfilling those goals: Mainly, molds break down dead material, consuming some of the energy for themselves, and decomposing the material to be accessible for other organisms as food.
