Does holding the clutch in when starting/killing do anything?

Title prety much says it, I was told hold the clutch because it takes pressure off the clutch parts for a easier start/stop.

when you hold in your clutch its not doing anything. the only thing you would use it for in starting it up would be if it was in gear, if its in gear you hold the clutch and start it. and im not a 100% sure but i dont think it pressures anything or hurts anything
