It keeps the metal parts from sticking together. Also helps control corrosion.
As a rule-of-thumb, anti-seize is applied to the male part. Apply a very small amount to the threads of the plugs. Avoid applying anti-seize on the first 2-3 threads of the plug to prevent contaminating the plug tip.
While not 100% necessary, using anti-seize is a good idea when using dissimilar metal and/or the parts get very hot. In the case of spark plugs, both conditions exist.
