Answer:
The most important function of hair in mammals is that of insulating against cold by conserving body heat. The differing colours and colour patterns in hair coats can also serve purposes of camouflage and of sexual recognition and attraction among the members of a species

Explanation:
Mammals are warm blooded, which means that we require a high internal body temperature to survive. A layer of hair or fur even as thin as the hair on our arms can trap air and create an insulating layer between skin and the cooler temperatures outside.
