By "earth", I assume you don't mean the planet itself. I take it you mean the organisms on the planet.
Mosquitoes are food source for many different animals- both the adults and the young (larvae). They feed creatures such as birds, bats, and frogs (just to name a few).
Also, they are an important vector (carrier) of diseases, so the disease-causing organisms also get plenty of benefit. I know we only think of them as pests, but they are living and are just trying to survive, too!
So, mosquitoes are an important part of the ecosystem.

Sure, they provide food for other animals, like fish and dragonflies, which in turn become food to even more animals. So yes, mosquitos are important. Everything on this earth has its niche.
