A child theme is like a connector to your main theme which stores the modification you have done to your theme such as widget logo etc. But after you update the main theme, all customization will be lost and you need to reconfigure it again. To avoid this issue it's always advisable to use child theme. so that you can add your custom function, Customization to your theme.
