The imporance of settings in a plot usually is in how information is implied because of the setting. For example, say in a plot, there is a conflict, such as "Boy meets girl. Girl does not like boy. Boy wants to impress girl but girl will not pay attention to boy." Say that the setting is "London, England, 986 A.D." You can assume that the boy will not use his fancy car in the story because in 986 historically, there were no cars (unless it is a fantasy story). Hence, you can infer information from the plot from the setting. It's almost its own singular idea in itself.

Settings provide context for the story, influencing character behavior and plot events. They create atmosphere and mood, giving readers a sense of place and time. Settings can also symbolize themes or help establish conflict in the story.

How would you have a story without somewhere for it to happen? And without a plot, there's nothing happening at all. If you don't have setting and plot, you don't have a story.
