Yes, homework helps.
Are you aware of any skill where practice isn’t necessary?
There is research in this area [0] so feel free to check it out.
Of course practicing math helps. Parents help too, but working on problems at home to find areas that need help and then working with the teacher helps as well.
I don’t think you need hours and hours, but the goal of homework is to reinforce the lesson, practice, and show mastery of the material and areas to work on before the exam.

I was under the impression that, before a certain age it was basically a cargo-cult because the assigned work is generally repetitive, busywork or not graded at all.

- prepend 4y agoIf you read the paper I referenced you can correct your impression. (Tldr there’s still a statistically significant improvement in elementary school, but it’s less so than in higher grades)
