This ensures the liquid has come up to the proper temperature. You would then reduce the heat and keep the pot at a setting where there is only gentle bubbling.
Simmering is usually used for things like cooking rice, where a boil is much too hot for the cook time. It's the ideal cooking method for making stocks because it's hot enough to break down the cartilage in the bones but gentle enough that it doesn't produce large bubbles.
