Solution

It is done to protect the metal from corrosion. For example, metals like iron are electroplated with tin, nickel, or chromium to protect them from rusting.

Additionally, it is also done to give ordinary metal objects an attractive, shiny, and decorative appearance (e.g., silver plating on a brass spoon).
