Frodo Baggins is appointed to be the Ring-bearer by the Council of Elrond in Rivendell. He was to carry the One Ring from Rivendell to the Crack of Doom in Mordor and destroy it before Sauron's minions, the Ringwraiths could retrieve it for their Dark Lord.
The title is also given to two other hobbits who carried the One Ring. They were Bilbo Baggins and Frodo's companion Sam Gamgee (who carried it briefly in Mordor). Because of their position as Ring-bearers, they were granted the right to travel to the Undying Lands.
One interpretation of the Ring-bearer role, may be found in Peter Kjaerulff's The Ringbearer's Diary. Frodo's carrying the ring all the way back to Mt. Doom, symbolizes the task of carrying the weight of destructive emotions all the way to their origin. The ring symbolizes the central "knot" of the negative emotions.
