The moon orbits our planet. Planets do not orbit moon. A moon is a moon because it orbits planets. The reverse of your question, 'What was the first moon to orbit a planet.', is hard to say.

Is the moon the biggest planet in the world?

A moon is a satellite that orbits a planet. So the Moon (our moon) is not a planet but a moon.It is worth noting that, in our solar system there are bigger moons; but the Moon is the largest moon in proportion to the size of the planet. As a result, it has a more significant gravitational effect upon the Earth than do most moons. Of course, the moon governs the tides; but also it helps to stop rotational irregularities of the Earth from getting out of hand; and so the moon has been a very fortunate and calming influence for our planet.
