****Heyy friend here is ur answer****
A keystone species is a species that plays a critical role in maintaining the structure of an ecological community and whose impact on the community is greater than would be expected based on its relative abundance or total biomass. Without the keystone species, the ecological community to which it belongs would be greatly altered and many other species would be negatively impacted.
E.g.:- Starfish (Pisaster ochraceus), Hummingbirds, Gopher Tortoise, etc.
Hope it was helpful:-)
