A conifer is tree and on that level serves typical roles a tree serves within an ecosystem, such as using photosynthesis to harvest the sunlight to make food, taking in CO2, producing O2, providing habitat for birds, etc.
Of course, there are some differences between conifers and deciduous trees (borad leaf trees Ike a maple ot oak). Conifers can keep their needles through the winter while deciduous trees loose their leaves because the leaves cannot withstand the cold. Conifer needles are far less digestible by animals compared to broad leaves, which impact what animals can live in the colder regions where only conifers can survive.
