O-rings are a sealing device for mechanical parts that move against each other. In scuba for example, without o-rings, any rotating part in a regulator would leak air. The o-ring is compressed between the metal parts to form a seal.
O-ring are used to form an air-tight/water-tight seal between two metal parts, e.g. a first stage regulator and a tank valve. If, for instance, the o-ring on a "k" tank valve is damaged or lost, the tank will leak gas. Thus, you want to keep them in good shape.
