Should I install a plywood layer over concrete before I install laminate flooring?

I’m installing laminate flooring in my basement. I have watched a few videos – some people add the laminate on the concrete with a moisture barrier, but some add a plywood layer over the concrete and then a barrier before the laminate. What are the advantages of adding plywood?

I’m in Colorado and the basement gets really cold. Will the plywood help with keeping more warmth?

EDIT – the install instructions allow for installation over plywood or concrete
