Photolysis of water is significant because it plays a key role in photosynthesis which is the process used by a plant to make sugar. Without photolysis of water photosynthesis wouldn't be possible. Without photosynthesis, sugar couldn't be made and life as we know it on Earth wouldn't exist.
The thylakoid space uses photolysis to break water into hydrogen ions and oxygen.

oxygen
When the covalent bond in water molecules is broken, it produces hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2) as the products.
Water is broken to obtain electrons.Process is called photolysis.

Hydrogen & oxygen.
The process of splitting water to release hydrogen ion and electrons along with oxygen is called photolysis. Photolysis occurs during non-cyclic phase of photosynthesis. Photos means light and lysis means splitting. Thus it is evident from the name itself that photolysis is a light dependent step of photosynthesis.
The thylakoid space uses photolysis to break water into hydrogen ions and oxygen.
photolysis, or photodecomposition is a chemical reaction in which a chemical compound is broken down by photons. It is defined as the interaction of one or more photons with one target molecule.

oxygen and hydrogen
When separated into its component parts, hydrogen and oxygen, the original water no longer exists.
the hydrogen bonding is possible in oxygen, nitrogen,and fluorine
Hydrogen and Oxygen are the two elements that are formed when water decomposes.
