When considering the importance of SEO, it is a combination of both backlinks and content. The website is empty without content and will not be ranked without any backlinks.

The one carrying the most weight is Content with quality, which keeps users intact. Backlinks provide ranking and traffic and Content hold the traffic.

Both content creation and backlink building are important. While there is not a straight answer to what is most important since SEO is not about doing any one thing. While doing SEO you have to take several other factors into consideration. i.e. Content creation is on-page activity which might help you to earn you external links if you product quality linkable content while building backlinks is off-page activity.

For SEO, quality content and quality backlinks both are the major terms used to keep the reputation of the website on a top. With the best quality content, you can achieve the quality backlinks.

Without content, you can't create a backlink. Yes, if you do any profile creation work that needs a business description (that is also a content), if you approach for a classified post that is also content. So for SEO "Content is the KING". If your blog does not have unique information, interesting content that will not be accepted guest blogging in a good site.

First, create good content, then approach to good DA sites for link building. Sometimes you can outreach other sites for link building first then offer them good content to post (guest blogging)

Content are always king to get engaging customers and traffics on website whereas, backlinks provides better ranking position in search engine results page.

Both Content and Backlinks are equally significant.
But I would pay more weightage to Content.
Because what would you create links to if you do not create content?

Since content is the place that gets more importance than backlinks.
Note: This is my opinion. It may not apply to others.

Backlinks are specifically for SEO purposes. Content is for your users to engage with your site, drive impressions for ad space, buy your products, and fill out lead forms. Without content, there is no reason for a website to be sourcing you (i.e., giving you a backlink).
