Tax purposes. It's to see how much you are to withhold from government taxes for purposes like family. If you claim 0 you are not claiming anyone, even yourself and more than likely will end up with more money on your tax return though each pay period you will be taxed more. If you claim 1+ you will be taxed less during each pay period but may receive less on your tax return and even owe the government.
