Answer: it is good because you dont want to plagiarize.

Explanation: Lets say you are doing a report on owls. There is a sentence containing lots of information that you want to add to your report. If you dont put it in your own words, you would get points deducted and that would be plagurism. But if someone says those words it is okay to say the exact same thing if you refrence the source you got it from, or put it in quotations.
