Because that memory is used to run all applications. (if you are talking about RAM). If you do not have enoght RAM windows will use hard drive space as a storage and the speed of hard drive many times slower then RAM, thats why the computer lags if there not enough RAM

During a conversation a person can speak without interruption if everything being talked about is in his or her memory. However, if a person does not have enough memory and has to look something up during the course of the conversation, in a book or newspaper, then the conversation stops until the needed information is found.
Computers are very similar; they can continue processing without interruption as long as all needed information is in memory (RAM). When that is not the case, the computer stops, retrieves the needed information from storage (i.e. Hard drive, CD, disk) and places it into memory and then continues processing. The more interruptions the computer receives to retrieve information the slower the computer. The more memory a computer has, the fewer interruptions and the faster the computer operates. More memory equates to more speed.

it's just important! it's part of the computer and the computer can't work without it.
are you trying to ask what is the role of a memory?
memory is used as a temporary storage.
