Life on earth first started with plants. First, the volcanos released carbon dioxide into the air, then the plants took the carbon dioxide and exhaled oxygen. All life on earth is required to have oxygen. An increase in carbon dioxide will collect heat and will therefore make it too hot to live on earth. Lots of plants reduce the carbon doixide levels. - Im Editing This , This Information Was Not Useful , And Didnt Answer My Question -- Kylee

Amazing, but true; if there were no plants, there would be no other kinds of multi-cellular life. Yeasts, perhaps, and bacteria - but no animals.

The reason is that plants are the only kind of life (that we know of!) than can utilize sunlight.

With all of this said it is important to note that not all life is dependent on plants. The only life that is not dependent on the sun either directly on indirectly are chemoautotrophs which fix sulfur to be utilized as energy, near the thermal vents at the bottom of the ocean.

Why do all forms of life depend on plants?

In ecology, a food chain is a series of organisms that eat one another so that energy and nutrients flow from one to the next. This energy can be traced back to green plants so green plants are the source of energy for ecosystems. egplants ------ insects -------- birds --------- hawkHawks eat small birds, small birds eat insects, insects eat plants.
