Can any one tell me the practical example of a microprocessor and what is the main use of microprocessor in it
Answer:
Your computer, for starters!
The microprocessor in your computer is quite useful for browsing FunQA.com, and a veritable wealth of porn sites.
I don't think you know enough about what a microprocessor IS in order to understand the answer to your question.
Do you even KNOW what a Microprocessor is?
In the field of robotics microprocessors are the brains of the robot. They run the code that tells the robot what to do and access incoming data.
In computers microprocessors handle everything from keeping time to the complex equations required to optimize search engines.
The very first microprocessor was the Intel4004. It was conceived as a general purpose digital IC that could take the place of several special purpose IC's in an early desktop calculator design.

Early microprocessors were used in control applications. Back in the early 1980’s Z80 microprocessors were used in desktop computers (prior to the IBM PC) but they were also used as the brains in printers, PLC’s (programmable logic controllers – used to control machines in industries like pulp and paper mills, saw mills…), and Distributed control systems.

In 1981 IBM released the IBM-PC which was based on a Intel8088 microprocessor.

Intel is still continuing the process of developing faster better microprossors and this trend it seems will continue.

Another device called a microcontroller is essentially a microprocessor plus. A microcontroller contains a CPU, registers, program memory, RAM and IO peripheral devices all in one package. The microcontroller has become ubiquitous today being embedded in an endless number of products from cars to cell phones. Virtually every device that has a key pad and a display contains one or more microcontrollers. They are also used in more complex toys like furbies and common devices like computer keyboards.
