Folic acid is extremely important in our bodies. It is necessary for cell division (DNA replication). This means you need it for growing new cells, bone, and especially during the growth of new tissues such as during pregnancy. Without enough folic acid during pregnancy, a child could suffer from neurotubular defects.
