At very-very high level: almost all human beings can only remember names, machines can communicate with IP addresses.

DNS infrastructure can help machines to translate/resolve DNS names to IP address.

In example, without DNS infrastructure you cannot browse on the internet unless you know IP address of the web server.

Todays DNS infra is more important because of geo-redundancy. In example you will connect to an American server from America, and European server from Europe when you browse stackoverflow website.

And I can enumerate many-many other things...
