For grip. When boots were first worn they were working boots and the studs were flat. Protruding studs made of wood were created and these were nailed into the shoe sole. These later were made of rubber moulding and later alluminium screw in versions. Studs were and are used to provide grip in grass and muddy conditions thus allowing plays greater maneuverability

Who invented football cleats?
The earliest forms of Football (Soccer) boots were developed in the early 1800's in Great Britain. These were relatively crude boots which were often hard leather boots (similar to modern day Work boots) with studs affixed to the bottom. In the early 1950's, The Golden Team of Hungary had a boot based upon a leather dress shoe with studs on the bottom made for them by an Italian shoemaker. This boot was much lighter and more comfortable but left them open to injuries. This boot was then improved upon by Adi Dassler (Adidas) and developed into the first modern type of Football boot. I researched this as much as I could but there are various accounts of when the first modern day boot appeared.
