The sun affects the rest of the solar system in many, many ways. The sun holds planets in orbit around itself, like the earth does with the moon. Without this gravitational pull, the planets would just spin off, out of orbit into the universe. Also, the sun heats all planets. For example, earth seasons are caused by the earth's tilt towards the sun. In short, the sun is what keeps this solar system grouped together.

Does a solar system orbit a star in the center and the star?

The rest of the solar system orbits a star (the Sun) which stays at the centre. To be precise, the whole solar system revolves around its center of mass. The Sun has about 99.85% of the entire mass of the solar system. So, its not surprising that the center of mass of the solar system is close to the surface of the Sun and that the Sun more or less stays at the center.
