What is the front reflector for?

Probably a typical newbie question, but I can't help wondering what purpose the front reflector serves. In the daytime, I don't think it matters much if at all. At night, you're supposed to use an active headlight. In fact, the local state law (Washington) doesn't say anything about front reflectors while it does say that a bike operated at night must have a red rear reflector. Am I missing something here?
