Negative battery terminal?

I really don't mean to sound too stupid, but why would you need to connect anything to the negative terminal on your battery? I apologize if this seems so simple, but I guess I don't understand the idea. Thanks

But why use the battery as the ground? Couldn't you just use a good chasis ground?
