Still dont understand it :/

like for what is the « que »

[maiden mountain]

let's use English as an example.
I know [this song]
Here, "this song" is an object, which means it's what is the target of the verb (what I know)
But let's say you don't want to use a noun but something more complex, described using a phrase
I know that [you are here for me]
What I know is "you are here for me". You are using a sentence to describe something instead of a noun. "that" is making the transition to indicate that what is following it is the object of the verb "know"

"que" is a relative pronoun, and is doing the same exact work as "that" is doing in English.
je sais que [tu es là pour moi]
But unlike in English, "que" is not optional, you have to use it.

The same thing is happening here with "il faut que"
"il faut" indicates a necessity, what follows it is the thing that is necessary.
you can use a noun, or an infinitive verb
il faut partir => we need to go
il faut de l'argent => money is required
but you can use a phrase as well, in that case you need a relative pronoun like "que" tu make the transition
il faut que [tu regardes ça] => you need to watch this (or a more literal translation "it is required that you watch this")
