So water from the steam won't get in touch with the mix,and don't forget to do a pleat so it can expand.

It's just so that the steam doesn't get into the pastry and make it wet and soggy.
I use foil, it works just as well.

To stop the steam condensing in the pudding and making it sloppy.

Have you tried making suet puddings in the microwave? It cooks in about 3 minutes (depending on the size of the pud and the microwave). It's probably not as good as one steamed for 8 hours, but it's successful. Warning: If you want to make a suet crust meat pudding in the microwave, you have to cook the meat first!

Quick way to a heart attack. Full of animal fat (suet). You can get 'veggie suet' though.

If you dont do this the pudding will get wet and soggy . Your pudding is then ruined

Because if you don`t it will fall apart when it gets soggy

Most people have answered a different question! You didn't ask why you need to cover the pudding but why do you need to use greased paper, greaseproof paper or silicone paper and the answer is to prevent the pudding sticking to the cover. All of these papers are designed to stop sticking when the pudding rises.
