what the fuse actually protect.

Consider the following simple circuit:

There are basically five components in the above circuit i.e 9 V battery, Fuse, Switch, Lamp and the connecting wire.
Which component is fuse protecting in the circuit ?

If you think that it is the lamp load then you are incorrect. It is actually the wires that fuse protects because it is the one that is actually carrying the current whereas lamp is drawing the current supplied by the battery source. Thus the primary function is to protect the wire though it will at the same time avoid damages to the load due to overcurrent.
