Welcome to Android Central! Sync will keep all of your accounts (primarily your Google account) synced up (so your Gmail will update when you get new email, your Google Calendar will update its events if you change them on your computer, etc.). It's pretty important if you make changes across platforms (like on your computer). Syncing does use a little bit of battery and data, and of course it requires you to be connected to the web, so if you want, you can manually toggle it off (usually in your Quick Settings toggles), and turn it on only when you want to manually sync everything in your account.
