Benefits of plants

Plants are really important for the planet and for all living things.

Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen from their leaves. Humans and other animals need to breathe.

Living things need plants to live – they eat them and live in them.

Plants help to clean water too.

Is life possible on Earth without plants?
Not possible. Life on Earth depends on plants, algae and fungi. For humanity, they are the major source of food, clothing, shelter and medicine.
Why life on earth is completely dependent on plants and how?
Sunlight is essential for life on Earth to exist. Plants use energy from sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide gas into food. This releases essential, life-giving oxygen into the atmosphere. Virtually all other organisms rely on plants for energy to keep them alive.
