SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) and SQL Server Agent (SQLEXPRESS)

Question

I came across these two services that ran separately in Services.msc -

• SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) - running + automatic
• SQL Server Agent (SQLEXPRESS) - Disabled

Could you explain why we need SQL Server Agent (SQLEXPRESS)?

Thanks!
