I'm developing a word game for iphone. Now that IOS has multitasking, do I definitely have to save the game state when the game is interrupted?

Your app can be unloaded by iOS whenever it decides to do so. Low memory, the user forces the app to close, etc.
Yes, you should save your game state if you want to be able to reinstate it when the app launches from scratch.
