Knowing that the relationship is significant does not tell us whether this effect is strong or weak. So we need to calculate an effect size as well as the t-test.

An effect size is a way to quantify the difference between two groups.
While a p-value can tell us whether or not there is a statistically significant difference between two groups, an effect size can tell us how large this difference actually is. In practice, effect sizes are much more interesting and useful to know than p-values.
