One of the main usefulness of a custom recovery i.e ClockWorkMod or TWRP is its ability to backup the entire Android system files and save it on an external storage, this is called nandroid backup and it can be easily restored back if ever wanting to use it again. Custom recovery is also what is used in flashing custom ROMs, Bootloaders, Kernels, and others.
