with the help of RTM we can avoid duplicate test cases too.  When we map each test case to the exact requirement(s) it covers, the possibility of having duplicate test cases is considerably reduced.

TRTM will first give the scope of functional testing to any test engineer who is a novice to that product. Then comes the major purpose of ensuring the coverage. The TRTM can be extended with additonal information to know- The weak areas of the application- Defects posted for each feature, etc..That depends on what info we want TRTM to give, so we mould it accordingly, just like any other thing =))

Traceability Matrix - In simple words mapping requirements with Test cases 
As documents are interdependent the data present in the child document (Test case document must be based on Parent document (requirements) and whenever we are facing problem's like developer is not accepting the bug as it is not as per the design or requirements at that time we can show them the proof by tracing test cases with requirements


Apart from mapping test case with requirements

Traceability matrix show how many test cases were written to for a particular requirements/functionality/module

When we are doing impact analysis Traceability matrix will help us to find out how many test cases are affected when ever any changes are happened in the application


Please suggest me if I am wrong.

A requirements traceability maxtrix can map more than just requirements to test cases.  Look at it as simply a way to map test cases to ANY document which your test cases are drawn from.  You can map details from specifications documents, work-flow documents, wireframes, marketing documents, etc..
