Everything you save on a computer has a file name. The web page you are looking at right now is stored as a file - both on the machine that hosts it, as well as on your machine as a .temp file. If the Word document you are working on wasn't stored as a file with its own file name, you would not be able to retrieve it. If you had a power outage or accidentally turned off your computer, you would lose all of your work.
