A pieces 'importance' is relative to its position and where that position lies within your strategy and tactics. IMHO

''Why is pawn most important piece?''
Short answer: it's not. The king is.

just study the Rut Lopez if you find it hard to believe that pawns or pawn structure for that matter is not that important.
i think there may be some bias here, considering the audience.
I heard for the colour of money.

If you exclude the fact that if you lose your K you lose the game, then you can consider the relative value of all the chessmen.
The pawns are most important because pawn structure is the terrain of the battlefield (the hills, valleys, and mountains) upon which the war is fought.
That is why the pawn is the most important piece.
An important footnote about pawns: all pawn moves are irreversible because pawns can only move forward. Think long and hard about your own and your opponent's pawn moves

It's a matter of opinion what the most important piece is.
Nope, post 7 has it right.
You can have all 8 of my pawns! As long as I get your King before you get mine, mission accomplished!
Nothing on the board is more important than my own King! Nuff Said!
Of my fifty-seven years I have applied at least thirty to forgetting most of what I have learned or read. Since then, I have acquired a certain ease and cheer which I should never again like to be without. (...) I have stored little in my memory, but I can apply that little, and it is of use in many and varied emergencies. I keep it in order, but resist every attempt to increase its dead weight.

The fact that no piece wants to "die" for a pawn is not weakness. It's strength.

We play with words.
Without the king you lose the game.
Technically it's the most important piece.
Practically the most important is the pawn.We all try to secure our king with a good defense from pawns.Castling , the only double move in chess has that purpose , to cover the king with pawns(and bring the rook to the game but again pawns will decide which is the good file for the rook).
Everything we do from move one has to do with the pawns.Pieces best positions are decided by the pawns.Weaknesses , attacks, positional advantage , everything related to any kind of advantage has to do with the pawns.
Even in the endgame where kings practical value increases a lot , everything is about the pawns.Pawns define plans and manoeuvres.You have to think which pawns to defend and which to attack , how to create a passed pawn , how to stop your opponent's passed pawn etc.
