It depends on what you want to do. If you just want to play other people's songs on your guitar then it's not important at all to know about cadences. But as Nem said. if he had more of an understanding of cadences then it'd be easier to write stuff. Even then, it's not necessary to know the names of them - just how to get the sound you want when you put them in your song. And you DO have to put them in if you're writing songs. Almost all songs have cadences, whether or not the writer knows what they're called.
