An hypothesis is important because it is the researcher best guess about the outcomes of an event, a happening, a research study, or an experiment. The researcher has done a great deal of searching for articles and studies about this particular problem so he/she is the best one to guess how the study or research is going to turn out.
If he or she turns out to be wrong, the is like a stain on her skirt that never comes out. If the hypothesized in a male, then being wrong about the hypothesis is like an ink blot on a white shirt. These are important issues for a researcher. Good luck.

they aren't SUPPOSED to be proven wrong, but it is okay if they are wrong, and most likely not 100% accurate. There is always something more to learn than what you say in your hypothesis.
