Warm-up activities reduce the risk of injury-gradually increasing the temperature of the muscles and joints and gradually stretching them makes them more pliable. This makes it less likely that injuries such as muscles strains, tears, and ligament sprains will occur while participating in more vigorous activities
Warm-up activities gradually increase the heart rate which in turn increases blood flow, carrying additional oxygen to the muscles prior to vigorous activity.
The gradual increase in heart rate also reduces the possibility of a sudden increase (spike) in blood pressure which could be dangerous for someone with already high blood pressure or someone with a heart defect or aneurysm, a weakened area in the wall of an artery.

You need to warm up because otherwise you may hurt your muscles and also because it prepares you for the task ahead.
you warm up your muscles so you don't injure yourself to make your muscles more elastic so they don't snap
