Something has to to start the column of air vibrating, and it's the reed that does that. Some other mechanism might be used but it probably wouldn't sound much like a Clarinet.

I know that reeds are a pain for inexperienced players, but for those of us who have been playing for a long time, it's second nature. I'm always breaking in new reeds, and it's work, but it's routine.

Why does a clarinet have a reed?

The reed is the main part of the clarinet. Without it you cant play the instrument. It allows you to blow threw the clarinet to make the noise. This goes along with some other woodwind instruments (the flute and recorder are the only woodwinds that I can think of that don't need a reed).
