RIP details

When i configure RIP for sending unicast updates it also advertises a route
for the subnet on the interface on which it is sending the updates. For
example, suppose my serial 0 interface has an ip address 0f 10.3.0.2/24 rip
is configured to unicast the updates to 10.3.0.1 using the neighbor command.
When i see the output of the command debug ip rip it displays:

RIP: sending v1 update to 10.3.0.1 via Serial0 (10.3.0.2)
     subnet 10.3.0.0, metric 1

in addition to other routes.

Can someone please explain why the router needs to advertise the directly
connected subnet in its updates.

Thanks
Atif
