If you are referring to the International System of measurements (commonly also called the metric system): it is important because all measurements are know to be the same and can be compared to a standard, no matter where you are. Also, the units are commonly used, and there are no ambiguous units (US gallon, Imperial gallon, ounce - is it volume or mass, dry quart or liquid quart are some examples).
