Treated wood is wood that will last the weathering process of of the 4 seasons, the storms and the sun. When you build something of wood, you put your back into it, and you want it to last because of the time and effort and money you put into it. You don’t want it to weaken and rot and so on, from rain, or to be made brittle by the sun. So you make sure your wood is treated and properly preserved.
