This is probably a stupid question but could someone explain the importance of having bioballs if there is any, like if there's lots of people who do use them and why.

They are probably building stuff with them...

Actually bioballs are still the preferred form of filtration for FO tanks. They are the fastest at converting ammonia to nitrate. Fish tolerate much higher levels of nitrate than corals, but the nitrates in these systems can still be kept low with good skimming (reducing the source) and water changing.

Default bioballs

So would you use bioballs in your sump for your FO tank or do you put them in a canister filter or something?

water is dripped through drip tray on the bioballs which are underneath in a holding tray of some sort and then the water continues to drip into the bottom of the sump hence the term wet/dry filter.
