Explanation:

Ill try to simplify it as much as possible. Bilbo falls into a cave and loses consciousness. As he is in the darkness he finds something that is cold and has the shape of a ring. He encounters Gollum and after they play their riddle game Bilbo is threatened to be killed for winning(Bilbo accidentally said "What is inside my pocket?", and stuck with the impossible question). Then the ring falls into his finger and it gave him the power of invincibility letting him get away. Its self explanatory why this is an important event. He finds a ring with powers. That is a huge turning point.
