Coax cable needed for router?

I’ve been shopping for my own router so I won’t have to rent one from Verizon anymore. I only have internet in my house. One thing I noticed that my G3100 router has a wifi 6 ethernet cable connected to, im assuming, the ONT that’s installed in my basement. The router also has a coax cable connected as well, which i did it myself when i first moved in. However, I noticed that when i disconnect the coax cable from the router, my wifi still works. Now, I’m actually not sure where the coax cable is connected to. 

My question is, is this coax cable necessary at all?

Again, i only have internet service. And for the past two years, I thought this coax cable that’s connected to the router is what gives me internet.
