For one, the sun is pretty much the only reason it is a system. Without it, what gravity would be pulling the planets into their orbits? Another basic purpose, obviously, is to give off light and heat, both of which are needed to support life. Basically, if the sun were to just disappear, the Earth would soon just be a dead rock floating randomly through space until getting caught by some other star or large planet.
