What's the point of Humanoids, and why are they so important?

There’s a Humanoid in every Character, and every real NPC. All Custom Characters have one, so what are they used for, and why are they so important?

Thank you!

I'll be honest, this question was a joke.

A humanoid is basically an instance that registers a model as 'alive', or as a human, hence it's name, humanoid. Adding a humanoid to a model will give it human-like properties, such as being able to take damage, etc. It also connects Shirt, Pants, and Body Colors instances to the model.

So it basically holds all the properties of the player's character for easy modification? That's how I understand it currently. Also, thanks for answering :D
