The equator is the circular line created by the intersection of the spherical earth and a flat plane that is equidistant between the two ends of the polar axis and perpendicular to the axis. 

The equator serves many purposes. One of such purposes is to divide the earth into two equal hemispheres - northern and southern. In addition, it serves as a reference point and division for all other lines that are parallel to the equator. Such lines are known as parallels or latitudes. As such, the equator has been numbered 0° with the latitudes divided into those that are north and south the equator.

Most importantly, the equator is the largest circle of all the lines of latitudes.

this is why equator is the most important line of the latitude.
