In an experiment, the observations always have some kind of random error. It could also be that the relationship between the variables is such that it can't be represented by a smooth line.

If the data points do form a perfectly smooth line, you have probably 'cooked' the results, and it will be obvious that you haven't performed the experiment!

Why isnt it necessary for all of the data points to be on the drawn line of the graph?

The line of a graph is quite often used to indicate the average of various data points that fall both above and below the line. Very jagged lines get smoothed out, but the trend is the same.

What kind of graph shows changes to data over time with points connected to each other?

A line graph is used to display data over time with points connected by lines. This type of graph highlights trends and patterns in the data.
