In its day, Morse Code was considered amazing. The telegraph was created and perfected in the 1840s, an era long before telephone, radio, TV, or the internet; telegraphy made it possible to transmit information over long distances within an hour of when it was sent, rather than having to wait a day or even longer. Knowing how to send Morse Code, electronic bursts which spelled out certain words, enabled a trained telegraph operator to transmit messages from one city to another. Thus, a newspaper reporter could file a story in Baltimore and have it arrive in time to get it into the next edition of the newspaper in Boston; business people could place orders or ask about certain products. Family members could inquire about a desperately ill relative hundreds of miles away.
In other words, information became faster and more readily available, sent by telegraph, using Morse Code. (Later, newspapers developed their own version of Morse code, called Phillips code, which made it easier and faster to report news stories.) The telegraph was the first technology that moved information electronically from place to place. In our modern world, few people use it any more (today, we can send voice messages or use Skype or other instant technologies), but the telegraph and Morse code led to today's internet.
These days, there are not many benefits to Morse code (other than, perhaps, secrecy, since few people today know how to transmit it and even fewer understand it).

Morse Code provides a letter-based method of communication by means of any type of signal that can be switched on and off ... light, sound, etc. As such, it can accomodate messages in any language that uses the familiar Roman (English) alphabet. While using the simplest possible transmitting and receiving equipment, it is highly immune to noise, and can succeed over very noisy 'channels'.

It was important because for the first time people could send a exact message to someone far away in a short time
Many people in the military used Morse code. Morse code is a type of communication that everyone else could not understand.
Samuel Morse was the inventor of the code popularly used via the telegraph machine. The code being Morse code.
People used the Morse Code to send messages from far distances Morse code was used by how long you hold it down.
I used to be familiar with Morse code, but not anymore.
Three main ones:American Morse code (Morse's original, 1844)European Morse codeInternational Morse code (replaced the previous types in 1865)
to communicate
Historical Reenactments
It used wires to transmit Morse Code over short distances
Samuel Morse invented the telegraph and the code that the telegraph used (Morse code).
The proper adjective of Morse code is "Morse." For example, you would say "Morse code message" or "Morse code transcription."
off in Morse code would be: --- ..-. ..-. NOTE: this is in international Morse code, there are 3 kinds of Morse code
killer in Morse code would be: -.- .. .-.. .-.. . .-. NOTE: this is in international Morse code, there are 3 kinds of Morse code
