Aerodynamic Center

Hello Guys,

Can anyone please explain what exactly is Aerodynamic center and why and when do we consider this ?

I know it is constant, it never moves and it is approximately 25% in from the tip. However, why do we use it ? Is there a aerodynamic center for the tailplane as well ?

Thanks in advance
