What is the purpose of underlayment for natural stone floors?

Underlayment for natural stone floors, such as cement board or uncoupling membranes, serves to provide a stable, rigid, and crack-resistant substrate. It helps to isolate the stone from movements in the subfloor, preventing stress cracks in the tile and grout, and ensures a long-lasting installation.
