Once a search engine indexes your page you want to be able to keep those search rankings even if your page URL changes. 301 redirects are a way to tell the search engines that "this page has been permanently moved to a new URL". This allows you to type in a new friendly URL for a product or category and have people or search engines automatically redirected to the new URL even if they type in the old URL.
