The main reason is that there are 11 players on the field, so it would be logical that one player would have "10" on their shirt.

However, I think your question refers to the attacking midfield role commonly associated with players that wear the number 10 (although not always i.e. William Gallas; the central defender from Arsenal F.C.) This role is the creative fulcrum of a team. It is often filled by a player who has unbelievable vision and passing ability to set up goals or score them. Excellent examples of players in this position are Kaka and Yossi Benayoun (even if they do not wear the number 10).
