Spacing in the lines written in text widget

If someone knows tkinter very well he will get what I am exactly asking.

I have a code where I am trying to see the impact of the option or you can say keyword of text widget named spacing2. I want to know why this option is used.

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()

txt = Text(root,spacing2 = 100)
txt.pack()

root.mainloop()

Help me to know why this option or keyword named spacing2 is used here.

According to the documentation (e.g. here)

This option specifies how much extra vertical space to add between displayed lines of text when a logical line wraps. Default is 0.

Here is an example that makes it quite obvious:

from tkinter import Tk, Text
root = Tk()

txt = Text(root, spacing2=10, wrap='word', width=10)
txt.insert('1.0', 'This is a very long line that is wrapped.')
txt.pack()
txt2 = Text(root, wrap='word', width=10)
txt2.insert('1.0', 'This is a very long line that is wrapped.')
txt2.pack()

root.mainloop()
