Mitosis is important for a number of factors:

1Development and growth:as an organism grows the cells are added to the body by mitosis

2 Cell replacement:when old cells die the exact copies of cells replace them due to mitosis

3Regeneration:some organisms like sea star have the ability to regenerate their body parts they do so by mitosis

4 Asexual reproduction:some organisms like hydra produce genetically similar offsprings through assexual reproduction.During this process mitosis forms a mass of bud on the surface of hydra,mitosis continues in the cells of he bud which grows to form an individual.

Do mitosis and meiosis take place in all kind of living things?

You do need mitosis to live. If we didn't have mitosis we all would of died by now. Mitosis is the process of cell multiplication (and all the cells are identical), if we lose that ability we wouldn't be able heal cuts, for example, we would all bleed to death. Also, if our cells stopped reproducing, our internal organs would deteriorate in minutes because there is nothing to provide them with the nutrients they need to function.
