Why is NTP required in an NFS network?

It's not. It's beneficial for making sure that file creation and modification times are correct, but it's not required. NTP is also beneficial if Kerberos authentication is used for the NFS server. Kerberos uses a time-stamped ticket system; each ticket is only good for a specified time period, typically five minutes. Therefore, all machines involved need to have their clocks set to be approximately the same. NTP is beneficial for this as well, but again, it is not required, and can be accomplished in many other ways.
