S/O Humidifier?

So I have to ask and maybe this is a dumb question. But what exactly does a humidifier do? I have never had one so I am unsure of what it is for and if we need one. And then there are cool and warm ones. So what's the difference?

"Basically, humidifiers moisturize dry air. If the air in your nursery is not humid enough, it can cause a number of risks for baby. Air that is too dry can cause colds, sinus infections, nose bleeds or scratchy and sore throats. By running a humidifier in your baby?s nursery, you can help reduce bacteria and dust particles from the air, allow baby to enjoy cleaner air, decrease static electricity and even protect the interior of your home. Germs also spread more easily in drier air, which is definitely what you want to protect your baby from ? especially during flu season"

 HTH!
