Yeast plays a crucial role in fermentation by acting like a tiny helper that "eats" sugars and then produces alcohol and carbon dioxide as it digests them. In simple terms, yeast is a microorganism that turns sugars into bubbles (carbon dioxide) and alcohol, which is essential in making bread rise and in brewing beer or wine.
