The bowl has an extra edge to collect spills to keep the table top clean. The reason why it is called an umbrella is this extra edge, just like an umbrella, which can prevent bacteria from growing. When you need to stack multiple bowls, you can lift the bottom up to keep the inside clean. We have a lot of bacteria on our hands. If the edge of the bowl is dirty with dirty hands, we will get sick. Now, we can hold the extra edge of the umbrella instead of touching the edge that our mouth touches.
