The base case in a recursive solution is the case in which the problem can be solved without recursion, i.e., it is the simplest or smallest version of the problem that can be solved directly, without further recursion. It serves as the "base" for the recursive algorithm to build upon, and allows the recursion to be stopped once the desired outcome has been reached.
