well it almost same like what i say lol... but this contain more detail. capsule may enable bacteria attach to surface, produce slime, divide and produce microcolonies within the slime layer, and construct a biofilm, which becomes an enriched and protected environment for themselves and other bacteria. thnks @Somy  :)
