I want to confirm if modem is required to be installed for serial
communication? If I want to get data through the serial port in PC, modem
must be installed. Otherwise, it won't work. Correct?

please advise!
Thanks!

No. There are devices which can connect directly to a serial port
without any intervening modem, so it depends on what you want to
get data from.
