In a sentence: they are looking for a number that when stuffed at the end of the block being mined and fed trough a specific process will result in a number that follows specific properties. They are essentially just looking for a verification number.

Its one purpose is to be hard to find, and to later be used to verify that the block hasn’t been changed or manipulated. Beyond that it doesn’t serve a purpose.
