1. Because they are made from heavy materials.
2. So they can be placed on top of sheets of paper to prevent the sheets of paper from blowing away. Didn't the words "paper" and "weight" give you any sort of a clue?

Paperweight. It has weight in it. It wouldn't hold down paper if it wasn't heavy.

Paperweigh= to hold down paper If a wind is blowing or to keep it from being misplaced. Or so you can ask why it is heavy

They are heavy so that if a big gust of wind blows, the paper will stay weighed down.
