Yeast does not absolutely require oxygen to grow. However, the use of anaerobic growth via nutrition from sugars is an extremely inefficient method of growth for the yeast, leaving it much more susceptible to environmental effects that could damage it. Oxygen is immensely more useful for the yeast to grow, but without oxygen, yeast does useful things, like leavening bread and fermenting alcohol.
