Why Manjaro kde plasma use fsck?
is it important?
What exactly makes you think that it uses fsck?
Well, Fsck checks my files Everytime I boot,reboot,shutdown 
I repeat:
If all you want to know is why and if fsck is important, just go to wiki.archlinux.org and search for āfsckā. There you will also find ways to enable or disable it.

Well I wanna know why it starts with manjaro kde 
It didnāt start with manjaro XFCE
Start of fsck at boot is usually initiated either via mkinitcpio hook or systemd itself, I donāt see how this could be linked to the DE which comes into the game much later. But either way is not causing it to be executed every time the system is booted.

So youāre saying somehow this fsck is booting only with my pc ???
Can you provide the outputs of:
cat /etc/fstab
cat /etc/default/grub
cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS=(base)
#
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
#
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
#
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS=(base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems)
#
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)
#
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap resume filesystems fsck"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"

As for your three filesā¦
Your fstab is configured with the defaults, to allow fsck to run on your root ( / ) file-system.
Your mkinitcpio.conf has the fsck āhookā
Your default Grub settings donāt have anything to suggest a fsck for every single bootup, however.
So to be clear, youāre saying with every boot, your screen shows your root file-system being checked with fsck? Every time?

If you donāt format it, the # marks at the start of each line are interpreted as āprint it big and boldā.

Thanks for helping bro 
Can you describe which screen / process this happens during?
Do you see the Manjaro logo (or your PCās vendor logo) while it tells you itās checking the file-system?
How long does it take? Can you actually see a percentage āprogressā that eventually reaches 100%?
There is a way to disable it, either in the fstab or with mkinitcpio, but I think itās better to figure out why it checks your file-system at every boot.
While in Manjaro, can you type:
sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sdxx | grep -i ālast checkedā
Replace sdxx with root partition.
This will tell you when the file-system was last checked.
