Best Answer

'Essential' requires a statement of purpose. If an organism 'wants' as many as possible of its genes preserved in the gene pool, then replication is just what the doctor ordered. But does the cosmos care whether a lineage persists? Probably not. So in that sense, it is not essential that organisms reproduce.
