Why caulk a roof flashing?

Hi,
What's the point of caulking the roof flashing for the exaust fan
vent?
Specifically, I'm talking about what takes place at 2:20 in the
following video:

It seems to be protection against the water flowing up. Is this done
to protect agaist the moisture drawn up by capilary forces? And in
that case, are the shingles themselves caulked?
Thanks!
You've seen other replies with good reasons. Another is ice. Ice builds up
in places then backs UP the roof and UNDER shingles when it can.
