It is a key species in the forest ecosystem, providing food and habitat for various wildlife, including birds and small mammals. Toimivillakin is also valued for its medicinal properties, with traditional use in folk medicine for treating various ailments.

The plant's name "toimivillakin" is derived from the Finnish language, where "toimi" means "to work" or "to function," and "villakin" refers to the plant's rough, hairy appearance. This name reflects the plant's ability to thrive in challenging conditions and its role as a hardy, resilient species in the forest ecosystem. Toimivillakin is an important indicator of the health and biodiversity of boreal forests, and its conservation is crucial for maintaining the ecological balance of these unique habitats.
