Why does a gnomon on a sundial have to be 45 degrees?

It doesn't. The gnomon is supposed to match the latitude of the location where the sundial is placed. If the latitude is 30 degrees and the gnomon is 45 the entire sundial will have to be tilted to keep correct time. Another way to describe this is to say that the gnomon should be parallel to the Earth's axis.

How does a sundial work please answer with anything its kinda important... Thanks?

The sun appears to rise in the East, move across the sky during the day and set in the West. A sundial has a pointy part which is called a gnomon. In the morning the shadow of its tip is in the West. During the day this shadow moves across the face of the sundial, and end up in the East. The gnomon is angled to take account of the latitude of the location and the sundial is graduated with marks which indicate the hours at which the shadow will fall at a particular place on the sundial.
