You got some history but they didn't really answer the "importance question".
It isn't important. At least not anymore. When I was in University 15-20 years ago it was used a lot as an introduction to programming language. However it didn't lend itself well to large projects and so was never used much in the industry.
Java and C++ have replaced it even as a teaching language now.

Pascal is a Programming Language in order to introduce students into the Programming World.
Pascal uses a Module Structure Programming Approach.
Pascal is just like C Programming Language.
Nevertheless, Java is the evolution of the Object-Oriented
Approach and comes from C++. Java is a more advanced
Programming Language, actually it is an Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) Language. We can build standalone
applications as well as web applications.
Java holds three platforms, one for standalone apps (J2SE),
other for distributed systems (J2EE) and a third one for
devices as cell phones (J2ME).
Hope it would be useful.

Pascal was designed by Nicklaus Wirth to implement and promote concept of Structured Programming. In fact its main purpose was said to be the writing of "beautiful programs".
Pascal had its heyday in the early 70s and was the language of choice, however the advent of C displaced it and with time replaced it everywhere.
Java is a descendant of C and as such is not related to Pascal
