What's the purpose of that marble base under the toilet?


No grout lines.
I suspect that it's easy to clean, keeps
condensation and dribbling from other low-volume
water sources (Drunk men, small children, buckets
from somewhere else...) away from the surrounding
flooring where it would otherwise soak in and stink
and/or rot, and it's a dead-smooth surface to rest
the toilet base on so you don't have to worry
about making a grout-bed or using shims.
