What animal or insect going extinct would have the greatest impact on the ecosystem? (kbin.social)

Curious on some replies here. I always hear having bees go extinct would be horrible for us. Curious if that’s the worse?

Many people here seem to suggest the likes of plankton, worms, trees, flies, bees or butterflies. But these are not just one species, they're huge groups of organisms. It is interesting to think about extinction of whole groups, but it's necessary to understand it's on the same level as thinking about the extinction of all rodents or even mammals.
