chip inside ignition key

My ignition key has fallen apart. It broke a while back and I had it taped together awaiting another key. The other day it fell apart completely and I can't find the computer chip that's inside the key. I know when and where it fell apart and I looked outside the car and didn't see it so, I assume it's under the seat somewhere. The car still starts and everything works besides the keyless entry.

I have heard that if that chip isn't in the car, the car will not start. Is this true? Or is it strictly used for the keyless entry?
