The CPU uses the segment registers to provide the base addresses for logical segments, which correspond to parts of a program's memory, such as code, data, and stack segments. When an application references a memory address, it specifies a segment selector (the logical segment) and an offset within that segment. The CPU combines the base address from the segment register with the offset to calculate the physical address in memory. This segmentation allows for organized memory management and protection between different segments of a program.
