When mix with oxygen, the other fuel component of the main engines, the burning hydrogen produces a large amount of thrust to push the rocket.
Later inflight and just prior to engine shutdown, the oxygen is shut-off prior to oxygen. This sequence allows the rocket engine to shut down safely, as in the absence of oxygen, hydrogen is difficult to ignite by the hot metal surface of the exhaust fins.
