carbon carbon carbon
What do plants give off that is needed by animals?
You are probably referring to carbon dioxide, which plants require to produce carbohydrates for food. However, carbon dioxide also comes from decomposes such as bacteria and fungi. Animals are also useful to plants because they pollinate them, fertilize the soil, and spread their seeds.
