Plants were first.
Mid-successional species are plants and animals that grow after the original species die off. These plants and animals often are the first division of the original species that are created when cells are combined to form a stronger species.
Plants came first before animals.

Species were first placed into federal protection with the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Prior to 1973 only fauna (animals) were given protection.
plants so the animals can have oxygen
Pioneer species, such as lichens and mosses, are typically the first organisms to colonize an area after primary disturbance. These hardy organisms can grow on barren surfaces and begin the process of ecosystem development by creating suitable conditions for other plants and animals.
plants
The scientific term is "binomial nomenclature", which means a system of naming plants and animals in which each species is given a name consisting of two terms of which the first names the genus and the second the species itself.
There was a decline in many species of plants and animals and new forms evolved, ushering in the Cretaceous Period with flowering plants and hardwood trees, along with the first true birds.
Unicellular plants and animals were first forms of life on Earth
Plants appear before animals during succession primarily because they are autotrophs that can produce their own food through photosynthesis, enabling them to colonize barren or disturbed environments first. They provide essential resources, such as food and habitat, which support the establishment of animal species. As plants grow and create a more stable ecosystem, they improve soil quality and increase biodiversity, paving the way for animals to inhabit the area. This gradual progression allows for the development of a balanced ecosystem.
