Drywall needs a material to attach to as you cannot directly attach it to the base of your roof. This is where furring comes in.

For example, if a wall is made of rough concrete, you can install furring where you can mount wood or other materials to make it look nicer. Builders commonly use metal furring as a method of supporting one layer of material over another or holding insulation or other construction items between materials.
