Why exactly is a Tablespace needed? A tablespace may contain 1 or more datafiles, while a datafile belongs to only one tablespace. But what is the purpose of having a logical group of datafiles as a tablespace?

"A database is divided into logical storage units called tablespaces, which group related logical structures together. For example, tablespaces commonly group together all application objects to simplify some administrative operations."

I mean to say.. the tablespaces cant move one location to other location or backup purpose. The datafiles are in OS level files we can move easly.

Not entirely accurate. You can move a tablespace. You'd have to move the underlying o/s physical files and then you'd use the alter database command to "rename" the files to their new location. And then there's transportable tablespaces...
