Leg muscles help you to run faster, walk for longer without feeling as tired, jump higher - all that good stuff.
The muscles of your calves in particular also help circulate blood through your lower body. They don't pump rhythmically the way that your heart does, of course, but when you walk or exercise, the calf muscles push blood back toward the heart.
Strong calf and leg muscles reduce your chances of developing "spider veins" or leg ulcers as you get older.

Leg muscles are basically what you need to walk and run, and even stand. And yes, by excersizing your leg muscles you are able to run faster and leap farther. They are the balance of your whole body so it is important to give them lots of excersize. Some leg excersizes you could do are front or back kicks, jumping up in the air and doing a split, and doing leans, lunges, and squats. Heres some websites that show you how to do them:
