A DMZ is usually physical network connected to an interface on the firewall. So you would have physical servers etc. in a vlan and the L3 interface for this vlan would be on the firewall.

what should be the reason to put those server in dmz zone?

This is not that easy to answer as it can get quite complex ... Please start by reading some definitions on DMZs:

  • https://www.sans.org/reading-room/whitepapers/firewalls/designing-dmz-950
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMZ_(computing)
