All day long the Sunflower gather Sunlight so when darkness comes they can shed light over the garden thus providing more Sunlight to nourish the plants... 
No really I think it has to do with helping with the pollenation of the garden plants. Sunflowers draw a lot of bees which in turn brings them to the flowering process of the garden plants to help them produce.

Most gardeners have a fear of failure. They are inclined to grow plants which offer a good chance of success. Sunflowers almost never fail to produce an impressive show of color with a minimum of care.
A row of sunflowers produces a long lasting and showy backdrop for one's garden.
I like em', and so do the Goldfinches.

Something to think about. Sunflowers are such heavy producers of pollen that bees may continuously work the sunflowers while completely ignoring your squash, cukes, beans, tomatoes etc.
The pollen is taken back to the hive where it is fed in mixture with honey to the developing bee larvae.
