Re:  Is this done for weeds or for to hold moisture in for longer
periods of time?

Short answer- yes :-)

It is done for both reasons as well as a 3rd- to help warm the soil and
get an extra week's head start on the season.  We sometimes have some
pretty cool springs around here & the black mulch helps to warm the soil
temps up a bit, which the plants like.
