Solution
Small organism in an ecosystem:
The ecosystem is a community where we can find a balance between different organisms and nature.
In an ecosystem every organism is important to maintain a balance.
Even small organisms have an important role in an ecosystem.
Small organisms play an important part in the food chain and food web. For example, we have decomposers which are mostly microorganisms and they help in decomposing dead and decaying matter.
Extinction of one organism can lead to another one related to the former for its survival.
Even the removal of one small organism can have a deteriorating effect on the ecosystem.
