The function of surface proteins on the influenza virus is to attach to a host cell. These surface proteins, called hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA), play a crucial role in the initial steps of viral infection. HA helps the virus attach to and enter the host cell, while NA helps release newly formed virus particles from the host cell after replication.
