Answer 1

Explanation:

$\fbox \pink {A}\fbox \blue {n} \fbox \purple {s} \fbox \green{w} \fbox \red {e} \fbox \orange {r}$

Firstly, to protect the skin of the fish from attacks from predators, parasites and other injuries. Secondly, scales overlap each other in the same way that an armour would protect a person. Hence, providing a layer of protection for the fish.
