What is a rubber spatula used for?

They are used for scraping and (in a pinch) stirring. They are good for cleaning out jars of things such as mayonnaise and peanut butter (though one with a narrow blade will probably fit and work better than the regular-sized ones.)

What is a rubber spatula made of?

While most people (myself included) call all of these “rubber” spatulas, they’re actually made of silicone, which is what enables them to stand up to the higher temperatures. It’s kind of like referring to all food containers as Tupperware.
