I’ve tried reading about it online, but it’s always complicated and hard to understand. What exactly does it do, if anything, for an engine/motor and why is it important?

Torque is the force with which something is rotating.

In a car, the torque of the engine is important because regardless if the RPM of the engine, it must be producing enough torque to overcome friction.

This is most noticeable in a manual car. The difference in the cars performance when starting from a stop when the car is in first and third grear is drastic because third grear has much less torque than first.
