What is the purpose of AssumeRolePolicyDocument in IAM?

I'm confused as to what the purpose of AssumeRolePolicyDocument is.
It seems like to create a role all you need is a parent name that you can attach policies to. It seems like AssumeRolePolicyDocument is that parent name but somehow there's more to it.
