Functional groups help to determine how the molecule reacts. For instance, if a carbon chain has a large number of methyl groups, then you would know that the molecule would be hydrophobic and found in a hydrophobic environment.
On the other hand, if a carbon chain had a carboxyl group, then it would be found in a hydrophilic environment and would make the solution acidic.
In addition to determine what kind of solutions they would be found in, functional groups indicate what the molecule will react with and what it will bind to.

What is in a molecule influences the way that molecule reacts?
Functional groups are responsible for chemical reactions of molecules.
Is -CH3 in a functional group?
No, -CH3 is not a functional group. It is a methyl group, which is a common substituent in organic chemistry but not a functional group by itself.
Why functional group is a group but not a molecule?
Functional group is a part of an organic molecule which takes a part in chemical reaction for example in alcohols functional group is -OH , in carboxylic acids is -COOH and so on, but formaldehyde CH2O is a molecule and it is completely a functional group.
