Authors use rhetoric in writing informational texts primarily to convince a reader that their perspective is reasonable. While appealing to emotions and logic can also be part of rhetorical strategies, the main goal in informational texts is often to persuade the reader of a particular viewpoint or interpretation of the information presented.
