What is the need of ale signal in 8085?

The ALE signal on the 8085 is Address Latch Enable. When ALE is true, the data bus contains the low order address information for the current bus cycle. External hardware, i.e. latches, are expected to follow the data bus when ALE is true. At the point where ALE goes false, at approximately the rising edge of CLK, the latches are expected to latch and hold the data bus, presenting it to the outside world as the low order address bus.
