Should you soak vegetable before cooking them

My dad likes to prepare dinner and leave potatoes in cold water before boiling them

CPotatoes are put in cold water for 2 reasons; to remove excess starch and help them cook evenly, or to stop them oxidising and turning brown in the air.

It's not necessary to soak all veg before cooking. Couldn't you ask your dad for some cooking tips?
i don't and don't think it is necessary. I guess it is personal preference. Do you know why he does that?
