Cacti have their spines that keep animals from resting and eating their fruit
Invasive species are plants and animals that have migrated or be placed in places were they are not native. This is very harmful to the native flora and fauna who have no natural defenses against the invaders.
Plants have physical defenses such as thorns and trichomes, chemical defenses like toxins and repellents, and also inducible defenses that are activated in response to herbivore attack.
True. Both plants and animals need protection from environmental factors such as extreme temperatures, predators, and diseases to survive and thrive in their habitats. Plants use structures like thorns and toxins, while animals use camouflage, behavior, and physical defenses to protect themselves.
For one, not too many people know that caffeine, which is found in coffee, tea, chocolate, mate, etc. is a natural insectiside the plants produce. Insects become paralized when they consume the caffeine which is in those plants.
Plants can protect themselves from being eaten by producing chemical compounds like tannins, alkaloids, and terpenoids that deter herbivores. They may also have physical defenses such as thorns, spines, or tough leaves that make them less palatable. Some plants form mutualistic relationships with insects or animals that help defend them against herbivores.

Two direct defenses of plants against predators include thorns and chemical deterrents. Thorns or spines physically deter herbivores from feeding on the plant, while chemical defenses, such as alkaloids or tannins, can be toxic or unpalatable, making the plant less appealing to predators. These adaptations help enhance the plant's survival and reproductive success in the face of herbivory.
Sap containing Urushiol, which causes itching and a rash. example poison ivy and plants producing either cardiac or steroidal glycosides. example foxglove
vacuoles in plants serve as defense against animals that eat them my answer is by eat the food..............that"s is so simple

there are a lot of ways in which animals depend on plants these are, for shelter, for food, for protection against prey etc.
