It's the drum, or set of drums that are taller (usually) than the snare drum and have more of a pitch or defined note. The bass drum can even be considered a tom. It's just (usually) a lot bigger! One of my friends even used a floor tom as a bass drum on his jazz kit once.

It can be but it's not an absolute necessity.

That's pretty much the standard drum set for rock and pop music. The floor tom comes in handy for doing fills and "jungle beats" and stuff.
