Steem-blockchain requires a set of people to create blocks and uses a consensus mechanism called DPOS. The community elects 'witnesses' to act as the network's block producers and governance body. There're 20full-time witnesses, producing a block every 63-second round. A 21st-position is shared by the backup witnesses, who are scheduled proportionally to the amount of stake-weighted community approval they have.

ROLES WITNESSES PLAY IN THE STEEM BLOCK CHAIN
*It is no longer news, that witnesses maintain the activities that take place within and outside the steem block chain by putting in blocks, time stamping transactions (such as posts, transfers, exchanges, votes, etc) and validating them with signatures.
This however, has ignited the true and worthy saying by an erudite steemian and leader @eurogee ;

A steem witness is a person who runs nodes to create blocks that is needed for steemit.com and also provides prices feeds. Steem uses a process known as DELEGATED PROOF OF STAKE or DPOS to delegate witnesses.

Steem witnesses are those who are in charge of steem block chain, they make decision on how to move steem to the next level. They are the engine of steem. They make sure that steem is homogeneous in nature and are well in circulation among its users alike. They are the pioneer and first face of steemit steem block chain.
