well given that they've mentioned mitosis, I think they want the importance of mitosis in terms with have same genetic material replicated each time for the growth. That question sounds very vague to me...

Come on.
In order for a multicellular organism to grow ,such as a baby,it needs to increase its mass.
To increase your mass,you need more cells.
What process increases the number of cells ?
Mitosis !
