Bowden oiption for E3D V6

I have an E3D V6 without Bowden option. Now when I look to find an extruder to hook it up to I keep running into information about the Bowden option/tube. I briefly looked on the web and see lots of topics including Bowden, but nothing that really helps me understand what it is, what it does, why it's needed and where I can get one for my E3D V6.

Any guidance appreciated.

BTW I recommend you avoid a Bowden setup. direct is simpler, and generally prints better

Found this thanks to your link... Now I get what it is and you are correct, I don't need it.
