Answer:
If tiger will extinct entire forest eco system will suffer. Because tiger is carnivorous. Producer plants are eaten by herbivores deer and deer is eaten by tiger carnivorous. If tiger will extinct the population of deer will increase and plants will decrease due to deer. This cause problem to other organism also.
Tigers in forest form one of the most important links in the food chain. They serve as the tertiary consumer in the food chain. If the tigers went extinct, then the food chain will be destabilised. The population of animals such as zebra and deers will increase catastrophically. This would result in increased consumption of producers(I.e. plants). This may lead to overexploitation or extinction of certain plant species. Therefore Tigers play an important role in the food chain of the forest.
