Question

How are even small animals important in an ecosystem?​

Answer 1

Answer:

They play a vital role in the ecosystem because the whole ecosystem gets shattered if the number of small animals are less and therefore, at a particular trophic level if a species becomes extinct then it will have a cascading effect throughout the ecosystem and will result in imbalance.

Answer 2

The balance in the ecosystem is maintained by the number of small animals present at a particular trophic level because large organisms feed on small animals. All the organisms are interlinked to each other and form a food web. Note: Even the small organisms form a part of the food chain or food web.
