There are more protocols on top of IP than just tcp and udp. Permitting IP allows them all.

Leo is quite right that there are other protocols running on IP that are not TCP and not UDP. Examples of these other protocols include ICMP, EIGRP, OSPF, GRE, ESP (for IPSec). You can permit or deny for TCP and UDP using their port numbers. Permit or Deny for IP is the easy way to cover these other protocols.
