They are also known by the sidelines

Touch lines, which are marked on a football field as the boundary and the end of the playing area, are also known as the line. These lines are approximately ten yards from the goal line and perpendicular the sidelines.

They serve as a safety blanket for teams defending themselves

The touch line serves as a safety net for the defending sides. It is used to prevent an attacking team from stepping out of the end zone and causing a safety.

They are closely monitored by football officials
