I wouldn't know what the official explanation is, but I can try to explain it in my own words.
Mathematics is all about quantities. Some, more, lots. Whatever. But we can only express those amounts as numbers, or mathematical statements, if we're able to compare it to "nothing"
So therefore we need a way to express "nothing" in a way that fits in with our ways of expressing "something".
