What is the meaning of cs go skins?

I don't understand why people buy cs go skins. Do they have any function? I thought that they affect the technical characteristics of weapons.

What are cs go skins? To be honest, this is the first time I've heard of this. I should probably google it.

Previously, I was also skeptical about cs go skins and didn't understand what they were for. Now I thought that this is a good investment, because I can buy, for example, awp worm god skin here https://dmarket.com/csgo-skins/product-card/awp-worm-god, and if I want to stop playing cs go later, I will just sell this skin to other players.
