Why does a knee need a knee cap?


Why does a knee need a knee cap?If anatomical pictures of the structure of a knee, you will see that the femur and tibia are connected with ligaments. And the patella (knee cap) is in place over the connection of the two. But it seems like there really isn't a need for the knee cap even with the leg bent back as far as a human can bend it.
