Hi mate... Here's your answer...

A keystone species is a plant or animal that plays a unique and crucial role in the way an ecosystem functions. Without keystone species, the ecosystem would be dramatically different or cease to exist altogether. ... The role that a keystone species plays in its ecosystem is analogous to the role of a keystone in an arch.

Hope it helps
