Sadness' importance to Riley's mental and emotional health is telegraphed right from the first scene. She's shown making Riley sad, and thus cry which alerts her parents that she needs food. If babies didn't cry, you wouldn't know when to feed them, or that something else like a dirty diaper needs attention. The secondary function of sadness empathy- is also shown in various ways: Riley's Sadness's ability to console Bing Bong over the loss of his rocket is what allows him to compose himself and move on from it where Joy's attempt to distract him through short-term optimism failed. This secondary role is also shown through how Mrs. Andersen's mind operates: she is the parent who is the most in tune and aware of her daughter's emotional state, being the first to pick up that something is not quite right with Riley.
