The hollow body of an acoustic guitar amplifies the sound, and the sound then comes out of the hole and also resonates through the guitar wood. That's why the quality of the wood in the guitar is important.
Electric Guitars don't have a hole or a hollow body, because they are amplified by electricity.

Why does a guitar have a sound hole?
Well the sound hole is on acoustics, and its self explainitory, the sound of the string vibrations is amplified against the wood, so the guitar itself is a primitive amplifier of sorts haha. but the bigger the hole, the more treble you have, the smaller the hole, the more bass you have. now with acoustics, age and constant playing is important, as the guitar ages with constant playing, the guitar acutally sounds better. the sound actually makes the wood warmer in tone.
How can you use a guitar without making any sound?
You can, it is just rather quiet. An acoustic guitar is designed to amplify its own sound. This happens because the sound waves travel into the hole in an acoustic, they reverberate and echo out through the hole. An electric (typically) does not have a hole for this purpose, so all you can hear are the strings reverberating. But you can hear it if you strum the string hard.

Is it the string or the hole that makes a guitar sound?
The string makes the sound by transferring it's vibration to the top of the guitar. The top vibrates, and that is amplified by the body of the guitar. The round hole is to let that sound escape.
How does the guitar works?
The strings on a guitar vibrate when you strum them or pluck them. Depending on how tight the strings are depends on the frequency of the sound (how high or low pitched it is). The circular hole is there to amplify the sound but it is not necessary. If you get a rubber band and pull it really tight then strum it, it will make a higher pitched sound than if you loosen it and strum it. As you can imagine after time the stings on a guitar loosen that is why you need to re tune it.
