The most obvious is that a larger sensor can fit more pixels (assuming a given size pixel element). My sensor has about 150M pixels, each about 3.75 microns. This is roughly the same pixel density as a 60MP "full frame" camera.
If you want more resolution, you have to either make the pixels smaller or make the sensor larger. And we're approaching (and perhaps past) the practical limit for how small sensor pixels can be - resolution is now more limited by lens quality than by pixel density.
