Why do defensive linemen have to put one hand on the ground in the NFL game?

They don't, there is no rule that states they have to. One reason the defensive lineman gets in a three point stance (one hand on the ground) is to put him on the same level as the offensive lineman, who also is in a three point stance. One of the keys of being able to keep the offensive lineman from controlling a defensive lineman is for the defensive lineman to have a lower center of gravity. If the offensive lineman can get low on a defensive lineman he can pretty much move him anywhere he wants. This is particularly important on running plays where the offensive line is to trying to open a 'hole' for the running back to run through.

What is a four point stance in football?
Feet and hands count as 'points'. A four point stance is generally associated with defensive linemen and means the lineman has both hands on the ground at the line of scrimmage at the time of the snap. Obviously, the lineman will have both feet on the ground so that counts for two 'points'. If a lineman also has both hands on the ground, that would be two more 'points' for a total of four. A three point stance is when the lineman has one hand on the ground. A two point stance is where the lineman does not touch the ground with either of his hands.
What is a pancake in volleyball?
A pancake in volley ball is when you press your hand directly on the ground and allow the ball (spiked usually) to hit your hand. The result, if done properly, is a volley ball that has not touched the ground, is capable for being hit with a forearm pass, and a red hand.
In softball how can a runner be out?
The batter is out, if they hit a ball in the air and a defensive player catches the ball before it touches the ground, in fair or foul territory. If a defensive player has the ball in control and touches a base before the runner, the runner is out. If a defensive player has the ball in control and touches the runner with the ball in their hand or glove, the runner is out.
