Grounding is an important part of all electrical wiring like your home. Without proper grounding you are asking for all sorts of strange problems and safety issues. The power company provides electricity to your main panel and a good ground is required. This is usually a metal rod in the ground near your meter. This ground is bonded to the main electric panel. The neutral wire is in turn bonded to ground at the main panel. If you have a bad ground, neutral can float above ground causing shock hazards. I once had to chase down a shock problem in a shower. It turned out to be a case where the neutral and ground were not bonded at the main panel. What you shouldn't do is the hot side of power to ground.
