The {click} command, an autopilot command, allows you to emulate a click on the currently focused element on the web page.
When you use Text Blaze to input your snippet shortcut you're usually on a text field on a website. That means that the currently focused element will be that text field.
This is why the {click} command is commonly used in conjunction with the {key} command, another autopilot command, to move the focus to another element in the page and then use the {click} command to click the element. This can be used to submit a form or trigger other events in the page.
