Re: metal plate with full-size breadboard
two reasons! primarily its so you can stick the breadboard on for mechanical support, and to keep the paper on the bottom from coming loose and sticking to things. secondly it provides a small amount of shielding to your circuits, and if you connect an alligator clip from it to earth/ground you will get an earthed shielding as well.
