The need you to classify your subject using predefined codes specific to your general field. In mathematics we often use the AMS subject classification codes give here. I imagine that your field has its own organisations and one of those have published a catalog of codes.

It isn't called the "AMS classification" since the 80s, now zbmath uses it too and both the AMS and zbmath write it jointly.

Arguably this was more useful in the past when full text search was less available, but it is, even now, a quick way to narrow down a search for relevant topics.

Do you give the paper to someone who's an expert in planetary science? General relativity? Exoplanets? Stellar physics? This can be really hard to answer for someone who's not in astrophysics.
If the authors give subject tags, it's very helpful, since you can just look up the relevant section in the editorial board's research interest and invite someone there.
