Yes, because the play starts as soon as the ball is snapped.
When the offensive team breaks the huddle and comes up to the line of scrimmage to start the play, the first offensive player to touch the ball is the center. The center snaps the ball to the quarterback and the quarterback will either hand the ball to a running back, throw the ball to a receiver, or run the ball himself.
The player who hikes the football to the quarterback is called the Center. In a punting or kicking situation, the person who hikes to ball to the holder (the person who sets the ball on the ground for the kicker) is often referred to as the long snapper.
The "G" stands for the "guard" position on the offensive line. There are two on an offensive line, one on either side of the center, the person who snaps the ball to the quarterback.

Every player's position is important. The center hikes the ball to the QB. No center, no hiking the ball. He's also the closest one to the QB, so if he doesn't block well, the QB would get sacked every time. The Center is responsible for calling the blocking assignments of the offensive line and spotting the key defensive players, usually the middle linebacker and, if they are playing up close to the line of scrimmage, the safeties.
