The Vice President has the power to break a tie vote in the Senate. This is the only actual power he has and on occasion it has been important. His real function is to be able to seamlessly step into the Presidency if something happens to the President. It is not really a job and there is not much he needs to do to prepare since it will probably never happen, but if its does, it is tremendously important.

Why is it important to know the order of succession of a president dies in office?

When a president dies, it is important for someone to take his place. That should be the vice president. However, if an attack happened and the vice president dies with the president, there is a protocol for who gets the job next. That person has to have the nuclear launch codes and needs to take charge of the military. A president has a big job and someone needs to be our leader.
