Most important in terms of what? If you are talking about the human body then no, Iron is. Iron is found in most if not all living organisms primarily in hemoglobin (blood). Iron also is a fundamental component of Earth's core. With out the spinning ball of molten iron at Earth's center we wouldn't have a magnetic field to deflect most of the sun's radiation. With out that magnetic field Earth would be like Mercury, stripped naked of its atmosphere with all life frying to a crisp. So Iron is not only important for sustaining life but also for creating the environment for which life can flourish.
