keystone species are those species which have lesser number of organisms in an but play a very important role in the ecosystem
samarth281199:
they are generally the predators and whose population if removed from an ecosystem can lead to an increase in the population of prey species explosively
they keep the population of prey under the control
so they maintain biodiversity right ?
wait no they make weak species extinct
it's not like that
they act as prudent predators
sorry for wasting your time but which one would suit it best They destroy habitats, They maintain biodiversity, They cause primary disturbance, They make weak species extinct
bro, they don't destroy habitats. their population is very less compared to their preys
good look

Keystone species largely impacts the ecosystem.
They play a critical role in maintaining the structure of the ecological community and affects many other organisms.
They can be a plant or animal playing a crucial role in the way ecosystem functions.
An example of keystone species is Wolf who is also known as apex predators.
These species disproportionally hamper the growth of other organisms because of their abundance.
