When you take a deep breath, your shoulders go up because your lungs expand. When you breathe through your belly, your belly expands but lungs not much. What are you expanding? Does the air go into your stomach?

Breathing like that expands the diaphragm more than letting the displacement rise your shoulders. In most people, this can result in more volume of air, with greater control.
My old choir teacher used to pick us out of the group if he saw our shoulders rising. Singers in general try to remain in this practice.
