Why do functions used within walk/map functions from purrr not use open and closed parentheses? #rstats

Why this?

reports %>%
pwalk(rmarkdown::render)

And not this?

reports %>%
pwalk(rmarkdown::render())

I'm thinking about moving from RStudio to VSCode.#rstats folks: What are good resources to make the transition as smooth as possible? Any obstacles I should be aware of?
