Google and most bigger search engines use the number of backlinks to a specific site as an very important indication of the importance, popularity, credibility and authority of a site and thus SERP ranking and Page Rank are assigned based on the number of backlinks (that is the simple explanation, there are many more factors involved in Page Rank and SERP ranking). A link to a site can be compared to a vote for the site.
Considering this it is obvious that the getting (building) of backlinks is one of the most important factors is in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and getting higher rankings on search engines.
It is also not enough just to have a lot of backlinks, the quality of backlinks also play an important role. The "quality" is higher if the underlying theme of the linking site is similar to your website and also if it links to your website with the keyword(s) (the anchor text) that you are trying to optimize for. Anchor text can be defined as the descriptive text of the hyperlink.
Backlinks from authoritative sites with high Page Rank are highly valuable. Links from .gov and .edu sites are also considered as "valuable" links.
