Throwing items is one of the basic ways to attack a monster (along with using a weapon, or jumping on top of monsters).
Some items break after striking a monster:

Throwing techniques
A regular throw moves sideways, with a slight arc. (High enough to hit the ceiling if you're in a gap only one block high) Holding up while throwing will launch the item upward at a 45 degree angle. (starting from the object's current location in your hands) Holding down does the opposite. Smaller items will bounce a bit when thrown into the floor, larger items are effectively dropped.
Pitching Gloves give the ability to throw items much further.
Normal bombs are usually most useful when dropped, but Sticky Bombs are very useful when thrown.
Be careful when you throw a Stone or Arrow at an enemy near a wall, you may be the victim of your own projectile. Both the Stone and the Arrow will deal 2 Hearts of damage to you!
