It adds an additional layer of security to your account, augmenting the "something you know" portion (password) with a "something you have" (cellphone) option as well.

This is fine if you don't mind having all of your email combined into one inbox. Another way to do this is to just sign into one of your Google accounts, click on your profile photo then click "Add Account" and sign into the other account.
