Why is a variable necessary to instantiate a new object?

using System;

namespace TreehouseDefense { class Game { public static void Main() { Tower tower = new Tower(); } } }

How would you reference the new object and differentiate with other objects without one?

That's a very good point. I like how you answered my question with a question to make me think. This is my first time diving into OOP, so the fundamentals still aren't basic for me yet. Thanks for the response.
