A switch is installed in a circuit to stop the current flow. Without the switch there is no way to disconnect the operation of the circuit's load. In modern households the switch is a convenient way to control room lighting from a convenient location. Without switches the circuit power would have to be controlled from the service distribution panel's breakers. In this scenario the breaker would be in the same class as a switch.

Can Ethernet switch be used in lieu of router?

An Ethernet switch can not fulfill the role of a router, unless it be a "layer 3 switch" also known as "multilayer switch", which has capabilities of both a switch and a router - and is more expensive than either (mainly because it is optimized for handling lots of traffic, quickly).For a small network, you don't really need a router. Routers are used to divide larger networks into smaller subnets, for efficiency, security, and administration. Routers are also used to connect different branches of a company to headquarters, or to each other, via WAN technologies - the router's role, in this case, is to connect the Ethernet network of a company's branch, to a WAN technology.
