Hope you are doing well, i saw many of peoples are using role attribute in html5 elements so, My question is that how much importance is it for us. We should be use it in our coding or not? or it's up to us use or not?

Example:

<header role="main_header"></header>
<section role="main_section" class="section">
<article role="mian_article">
<section role="main_section" class="inner_section"></section>
</article>
</section>

What is the advantages of it?
