They are probably the most important decomposers on our planet. They also go through nitrogen fixation to allow plants to absorb nitrogen with their roots. Plus, most animals have them in their deigestive systems and they make it possible for our bodies to absorb certain nutrients.

What is the most common prokaryotes?
Bacteria are the most common prokaryotes, closely followed by fungi.
Which characteristic is MOST important in identifying a cell as a prokaryote?
Prokaryotes have no membrane bound organelles such as a nucleus. They have a region where their DNA is found called a nucleoid region.
