Explanation
地 (de) is a structural particle placed after an adjective or descriptive phrase to form an adverb that modifies a verb. It functions like the English "-ly" suffix, turning descriptive words into manner adverbs. When 地 is used, the descriptive word before it describes how the action is performed.
