GApps (Google Apps) is the must on every Android smartphone to run Google Play store services. Most of the AOSP, CM, Lineage OS doesn’t include GApps, So users have to install the GApps pack separately.

Lineage OS is based on the latest Android Nougat. If you are flashing any custom ROM, then that ROM includes only apps provided by the Lineage OS team, So you will not have any Google services; you can’t even install any google apps as you don’t have play store to download them.

So you have to flash GApps for Lineage OS ROMs to enjoy all the Google Apps.
