During the transcription, the DNA is used to produce proteins. But DNA is not directly transformed into protein
In order to do so, it must first copied to RNA to ensure the genetic information from the DNA doesn't become tainted
hope this helps

DNA is present within the nucleus of the cells and it is responsible for the production of various proteins and enzymes to keep the cellular activity going on. However, it cannot directly do so and seeks help of the messenger RNA molecules. DNA transcription is a process that involves transfer of the DNA code from the DNA to the mRNA molecule for the production of proteins.
