What is the takinh

Of guard means
and is is a useful  law in cricket

yeah : it tells the Umpire if you want the Center stump , two legs or off stick.

He then is able to adjudge you LBW.  :-[

It also tell him whether you know the bowler running in ....

Taking guard, two leg or middle will set you up to play all round the wicket,

its the intent to score which is the important part.
