Can someone explain to me the purpose of a Recursive Static Route?

Some background, I passed my CCNA a year ago and I know what a static route is. I've heard of a floating static route, and understand it's purpose and configuration. But during my studies (Self) I never came across a Recursive Static Route. I have a friend who is getting ready to take Net+/CCNA and he has asked me for help with it.

Both of us understand...vaguely...what it is but neither of us understand the purpose of it. At best, it seems like it saves the Router a little bit of overhead by avoiding a second lookup? But what it saves seems minimal.

What are we missing here?
