Alt Tags helps to give a name or introduction to every image and it is good for SEO point of view because Google doesn't read images.

Like everyone said, it's basically there to tell the Googlebots what your image is. Since they can't read images, they scan the alt text to find out what it's about and then index it in the search results.

If you had an image with an alt of "web hosting", then when you searched "web hosting" in Google Images, your picture would pop up.
