It is the connection between the functionality of the program and the human user. With no user interface, the program is literally useless!
To Dyslexia: The question doesn't mention "graphical". The DOS command line, for example, is still a user interface.

GUI (Graphical User Interface) ?
There's no function for it, you have to create the whole thing..
If you're using C/++ you'll need to use the CreateWindow API and specify it to the main window..
It would 100% help you would include more information.
Go to Yahoo! Search and look for that function or examples on how to use it.
Edit: perhaps I read your question wrong (lol) .. a GUI is a basic layout of a program, like buttons, tab menus, forms and fields - it's only to help use the program.
Say if you click a button, and it opens a website .. that button is an interface because you can use it easily without having to making it open a website with the power of your mind!
Edit: rhodus (above), a program doesn't need a GUI if it's serving a purpose or interacting with the user.

It determines how the user interacts with the computer. A command-line interface such as DOS requires typing in every command. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) such as Windows uses graphical objects (icons, buttons) to represent those commands.

It is the INTERFACE that the USER sees to use the program.

It's the part of the program you SEE with all the buttons and pictures and what not else.
It basically allows you to click on a button to perform a task instead of typing the command. For example Windows (any version) is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that means instead of having to type in c:\downloads\program.exe to run a file in your downloads folder, you have a nice little picture with Local Disk (C:) written next to it, you click on that and see little pictures of all the fodlers on your computer, and another one when you click on "downloads" to show you the Program.exe file you're trying to run

To facilitate input/output to the program from the user
