The reason would be that although small, it is unusually dense giving it a high enough gravity. But then we have the problem of getting enough light for photosynthesis.

Ok... ok... So the volcano thing makes sense, but wouldn't the gravity have some kind of effect on the life there? Specifically plants?

Yes!
The lack of gravity of such a small body would make it unable to hold on to an atmosphere.
