So what do Project Managers actually do?

I(30M) live with my mom and she gets to WFH 100%, Mon – Fri, 9-4:30, as an IT project manager. She’s been a PM for at least 18 years, and in all that time I have never gotten a straightforward answer about what she actually does. I know she uses email and attends meetings, and she assigns projects to other staff but isn’t part of management or knows anything about programming. She still gets stressed out her job, so where is she getting any sense of urgency from? What does she even do as a PM?!
