I think it is used as the name of the roote element if you get the dataset's
contents as xml. Might be other uses as well.

You don't have to give a name; there is a second overload with a default
constructor.

Giving a name can help when you do work with multiple datasets; also you are
a lot more consistent.

I tend to just do this

DataSet myDataset = new DataSet();
