The Front Controller has an array of “routers” that it uses to decide which module the URL should trigger so Front Controller plays a very crucial role in Magento.

Front Controller has the following role in Magento:

Defining controller and proper action to perform using routes
Displaying browser-requested data using blocks, templates and model data.
