There are two reasons:
1. In a well crafted theme, a combination of title & tagline can have a positive impact on SEO
2. The title and tagline are often generated in the tab bar in the web browser providing valuable information for all types of visitors – including those who cannot see..
Ok, but why does Google show the Title and the Tagline written on the same line?
It looks like Title + Tagline = Title in Google
Is there anyway to show screenshots on the forum? because I have some issues indexing my website correctly with google and I would like to show to someone what the problems are.

Cool, thank you esmi! Ok, so I will make some screenshot with snag
why does Google show the Title and the Tagline written on the same line?
Only Google can decide what Google displays and how but the way in which your theme presents the information to Googlebot can have an effect on this. What theme are you using? Where did you download it from?
You could try asking in https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/theme/tempera/ but before you do, are you running any SEO plugins?
Yes I am but I am, I use WordPress SEO by Yoast and SEO Pressor. But I did not do any SEO to most of my pages. Only a few. I am working on it. Do you think google will fix how my pages appear in google search when all my pages will be optimized?
It is a long standing fact that Google will replace your title and your description, even if you use a SEO plugin, based upon the search term entered by the user who is searching. This started in August of 2013 and is well documented. That being said, do not rely on Google to do this for you. Since you use the Yoast plugin then I would take the time to fill in the Title, Description and keywords for each post. Even though Google does not specifically read the keywords any longer, other search engines such as bing and yahoo still do. Doing this will also obviate the WordPress default of using the Title + Tagline as the title in Google and in other search engines.
Yes – Google is constantly re-indexing sites and adjusting its data appropriately. Once you have finished working on your SEO, you should see some changes start to take place in Google over the following weeks & months.
Cool, interesting. Sorry guys, I am new in blogging and I must learn everything from scratch. So, yes, I guess I must work on optimizing all my posts and wait see see changes in google search. I first I thought it was all automatic and that google would do the job for me actually. Thank you guys.
If you haven’t done so already, I’d recommend having a look at Search_Engine_Optimization_for_WordPress longer term.
so, webmaster tools tells me that http://snag.gy/YkTZp.jpg (screenshot)
and also that:

That looks really bad
Yes, I looked at Search_Engine_Optimization_for_WordPress, I just worked on it today actually.
So, apparently I just need to work on SEO and be patient
