Beacuse you need something to support the rim. If you didn't have spokes, you'd have to have a solid disc. (well, maybe with some cutouts, like an alloy car wheel) and that'd be a lot heavier and more sensitive to side winds.

Why spokes are used in wheels?
Because before the days of big milling machines and huge lumps of aluminum the most available way of making wheels that were true, strong and reasonably light was by using spokes to lace a rim to a hub. For bicycles, with their relatively large diameter and lightly loaded wheels, the method is still competitive.
How are bicycle wheels made?
Bike wheels are made out of three parts: 1 The center hub, the nave , 2 the rim, 3 the spokes. The spokes have hook's on one end, that are latched through the holes of the nave . The other end of the spokes are threaded and are put through holes in the rim and then fastened with a nut with a flattened head. This was the easy part. The difficult part is to tighten all the spokes equally so that the nave and the rim are in perfect alignment.
