Tags help your blog get seen by random people here at wordpress.com.
It also helps categorize posts.

External search engines “see” tags and categories as being the same thing. Read more here http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/categories-vs-tags/
Categories are like the Chapter titles on a Table of Contents of a book. Tags are like the index terms that are found in the back pages of a book. Both are based on keywords or keyword phrases that naturally occur in any written language.
Whenever you get confused about categories and tags pretend you are in a library looking for a book on a specific topic. Ask yourself this: What words would I use to find the correct book on that topic in that library catalog?
Change the word “book” to blog and you will know how to find a blog on any specific topic by typing keywords into a search engine and getting back the results.
When you assign a minimal number of categories and tags to a post you are selecting the keywords that you think other people would type into a search engine and find your blog with. Thet are important. Choose them carefully and do not overuse them.
