It's just a convention, so you know it's a script. If it's marked as an executable, the system will execute it whatever (though you need to have something like #!/bin/bash at the beginning). Same principle applies to Perl scripts - a lot of people suffeix them with .pl, but it's not necessary (may help your text editor to recognise them, though, so you get the right highlighting).
