The most important role an organism plays in the ecosystem
Marine biologists and oceanographers typically determine if an island is part of a coral reef by studying its geological features, the types of marine life present, and conducting surveys to assess the presence of coral formations. Satellite imagery and aerial surveys also play a role in identifying coral reefs surrounding islands.
The role an organism plays in an ecosystem is its niche.
Hawaii's Monk seal plays an important role in the ecosystem. Monk seals are apex predators and they control levels of different prey populations to keep a healthy functioning ecosystem.

Bacteria plays a very important role in the ecosystem by maintaining the balance in the environment to thrive. Bacteria aids in the creation of oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur.
Coral reefs are shallow water tropical ecosystems. They are made up of hard material deposited by polyps which are tiny living organisms. The reefs protect the fragile shorelines from damage and erosion. They act as breeding grounds and shelter for many marine organisms. They are hotspots of marine bio-diversity and sources of potentially lifesaving medicines. They bring promise of medical cures that may come from the vast biodiversity of the ecosystems there.
