Because "rmmod" is the program that removes modules from the running
kernel. If there's a problem with a module, you remove it. You need
"sudo" because that's how a normal user gets to run system
administration commands like rmmod.
In general, you can get help on any installed command by running man in
a terminal ("man command", without the quotes, will give you information
on command (which, if you type it exactly, will probably say "No manual
entry for command", because there's no program called "command")). One
of the best things you can do with a new system is learn how to get help
from the system. There's pretty good documentation in the manpages,
which is also browseable from the GUI (the ? icon on the top taskbar),
and also on the web (google for "man rmmod" and you'll get more
information than you want).

Yep - it can be hard at first, but you'll get the hang of it.
