Why were hieroglyphics important?
Heiroglyphics was a system of writing, like in ancient Egypt, in which pictorial symbols are used to represent meaning or sounds or a combination of meaning and sound.
A later cursive version was developed called heiratic that was quicker to write.In the last centuries B.C. a more refined style, the demotic, replaced the hieratic.
Where the origin of most hieratic characters could be plainly seen in the hieroglyphics, the demotics bore no resemblance to the hieroglyphics from which they were taken
Basicly it was the foundation on which modern writing was built

Additional Info:
The main 'benefit' or knowledge gained by decoding the Rosetta Stone was being able to decipher hieroglyphics. Up until the discovery of the Rosetta Stone, it was assumed that hieroglyphics was a pictographic language, i.e. a picture of a bird represented the word 'bird'. However, after the discovery (and subsequent translating) of the Rosetta Stone, it was determined that hieroglyphics was a phonetic alphabet, where a picture of a bird might stand for the character "B" (that's not accurate, I'm just making an example).
If you have ever used Wingdings in word before, you get the idea of what hieroglyphics are: a pictographic symbol that represents a single character.
