Well, it is one place from where new flies do arise. Flies are scavengers and carrion eaters. The short form of the life cycle is this: critter dies, lady fly lands on dead critter and lays eggs, larva in the form of maggots emerge from the eggs, maggots eat, grow, and develop into new flies and rise off the remains of dead critter.

Incidentally, maggots only eat dead or rotting meat. Maggots cannot eat live flesh.

What process do scientists use to answer questions about they worldfor example Redi's experiment with rotting meat?

Scientists use the scientific method to answer questions about the world, which involves making observations, forming a hypothesis, conducting experiments, and analyzing results. In Francesco Redi's experiment with rotting meat, he tested the hypothesis that maggots arise from the meat itself or from eggs laid by flies. By using controlled conditions, such as placing meat in covered and uncovered jars, he demonstrated that maggots only appeared in the exposed jars, supporting the idea that they come from flies, not spontaneous generation. This method of systematic investigation allows for repeatable and verifiable results.
