Is it necessary to use marzipan fondant when Decorating a Cake?

I have three books on Cake Decorating which instruct American to put on the cake with marzipan and then fondant. I have taken classes in cake before and just put the fondant on it. I know fruit cake requires marzipan. But I can make my cakes and just put some butter cream and fondant in the top right? I can skip the step of marzipan in books? Why do this? THANKS! Thanks to everyone who responded! All deserve to be the better answers. Thank You!

Course no! In addition, the marzipan is incredible expensive. Personally, I've never used the marzipan fondant. I really do not know why his book says to do this way. Marzipan can be used as a substitute for sugar paste, as long as you do not want your perfectly white cake. I've always used butter cream with fondant. And this was how I was taught in culinary school.
