Is it necessary? No. Is it recommended? Yes. See:
http://www.alistapart.com/stories/doctype/
If you are creating HTML pages, you'd want to use either:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
or
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
if you're using frames.
Here's some more info:
