The formal telling of the story of Passover is framed as a discussion with lots of questions and answers. The tradition that the youngest person asks the questions reflects the centrality of involving everyone in the seder.

מַה נִּשְׁתַּנָּה הַלַּֽיְלָה הַזֶּה מִכָּל הַלֵּילות

Ma nishtana halaila hazeh mikol haleilot?

Why is this night different from all other nights?

Altogether: 

On all other nights we eat both leavened bread and matzah.
Tonight we only eat matzah. On all other nights we eat all kinds of vegetables,
but tonight we eat bitter herbs. On all other nights we aren’t expected to dip our vegetables one time.
Tonight we do it twice. On all other nights we eat either sitting normally or reclining.
Tonight we recline.
