Parents Purpose of backward roll to pushup?

[InMyGymMomEra]

My 6yo L1 daughter is currently working with her team on the skill backward roll to pushup position. I've noticed this skill is trickier for her than some others, and I was just curious what the purpose of this skill is?

Being a parent with no gymnastics experience myself, there are other skills that seem to have a more obvious progression to other skills I might recognize as a layperson (like a roundoff leading to a roundoff back handspring, and then a roundoff back handspring being the entry into other bigger skills). But for the backward roll to pushup, where is that heading in the future?

Thanks for the intel!

It's a very common drill for clear hips on bars, especially with a Forrester bar.

Backward roll to push up, back extension roll, clear hip. It is a little tricky to pick up on because a floor skill leads to a bars skill. The level 4 floor routine has a back extension roll and then the level 5 bar routine has a clear hip.

It's an excellent drill for two of the most important bars skills for mid- and upper-levels: clearhips and giants.

EDIT to expand:
Keeping pressure on the hands while bringing the body over top (preferably maintaining a rigid hollow and keeping the feet in the lead) is very important for both clearhips and giants -- two skills which form the backbone of upper-level bars routines -- but is also a very non-intuitive motion. Investing the time and effort to build a feel for this early on pays off enormously from about level 5 onward.
