For directories, the "x" bit makes it traversable. That means if
/foo/ has permissions drw-rw-rw-, then you can read (and write) the
directory but you can't get to any of any of the files in the
directory, and you cannot get into /foo/bar/ even if the latter has
permissions drwxrwxrwx.

Because you can't use it and you can't move into it unless it does.

tell you what it is because we want to ambush you in the future.
