Discuss three importance of plants

Answers

-Plants make food

-Plants are the only organisms that can convert light energy from the sun into food, plants produce ALL of the food that feed animals, including people.

-Plants make oxygen. This oxygen gas, which is an important part of the air, is the gas that plants and animals must have in order to stay alive. All of the oxygen available for living organisms comes from plants.

-Plants provide habitats for animals

Plants are the primary habitat for thousands of other organisms. Animals live in, on, or under plants. Plants provide shelter and safety for animals also provide food. As a habitat, plants alter the climate. On a small scale, plants provide shade, help moderate the temperature, and protect animals from the wind. On a larger scale, such as in tropical rainforests, plants actually change the rainfall patterns over large areas of the earth's surface.

-Plants help make and preserve soil
In the forest and the prairie, the roots of plants help hold the soil together. This reduces erosion and helps conserve the soil. Plants also help make soil. Soil is made up of lots of particles of rocks which are broken down into very small pieces. When plants die, their decomposed remains are added to the soil. This helps to make the soil rich with nutrients.

-Plant Products
Many plants are important sources of products that people use, including food, fibers (for cloth), and medicines. Plants also help provide some of our energy needs. In some parts of the world, wood is the primary fuel used by people to cook their meals and heat their homes. Many of the other types of fuel we use today, such as coal, natural gas, and gasoline, were made from plants that lived millions of years ago.

-Plants beautify
Plants, because of their beauty, are important elements of our human world. When we build houses and other buildings, we never think the job is done until we have planted trees, shrubs, and flowers to make what we have built much nicer.
