Interdependence
Plants and animals need each other to live; plants give us food and oxygen, while animals help plants by spreading seeds.
Food Habitats
Animals are grouped based on what they eat, such as plant-eaters (herbivores), flesh-eaters (carnivores), and both (omnivores).
Shelter
Many animals like birds, squirrels, and insects make their homes on trees and among plants for safety.
Seed Dispersal
Animals eat fruits and drop seeds far away, which helps new baby plants grow in different places.
Protection of Nature
We must protect both plants and animals because if one is harmed, the other also suffers.
