Plants provide food and shelter for animals, and as they photosynthesize, regulate the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
As food producers, plants are eaten by herbivores, which in turn become food for the omnivores and carnivores. Plants are also the homes of many animals, small and big. Plants provide shelter from predators and harsh factors of the environment, like the hot sun, cold snow and torrential rain. When plants photosynthesize, they take in carbon dioxide and give out the fresh oxygen that all the animals need for respiration. Plants are crucial for the health of all animals.
On the other hand, plants depend on animals for nutrients, pollination and seed dispersal, and as the animals consume plants, they regulate the numbers of different species of plants. While plants provide oxygen for the animals as they photosynthesize, animals respire and give out carbon dioxide for plants to make food with. It is an interdependent relationship here. This is not to say that plants do not respire themselves. They do, it is just that the amount of carbon dioxide they give out is not enough for the plants to make enough food with. As such, plants need animals.
Also, when animals die, they decompose and become natural fertilizers for plants. Being pretty much immobile, plants also depend on animals to pollinate them for reproduction. And when the fertilized plants eventually produce seeds encased in fruits, animals eat them or carry them along on their fur, dispersing the seeds far and wide, ensuring the continuity of the plant species.

∙ 12y agoall plants depend on other plants. because when a leaf or a flower petal or any part of a plant falls onto the ground it starts decaying. decaying is a process of something that breaks down and becomes part of the earth. well when the plant decays it makes the soil richer and better and that makes the plants around it healthier ! well plants even depend on insect's!

Do plants depend on other organism for food?
no just think of a plant that creates is own food through photosynthesis
How do plants and animals depend on each other?
Plants convert carbon dioxide given off by animals into oxygen. This process helps both plants and animals to survive. some animals llike deer need plants for food. Plants depend on animals for pollination and dispersal of seeds. Many animals just eat them but some use them as their shelter and and some to escape from predators. Plants depend on animals for enery as when an animal dies plants uses its body's nutrients.
Why do all living things depend on green plants?
Living organism depend on plants because of the plants capability to do photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is converting the sun energy into a glucose type sugar. Sugar is a type of energy that all living organisms need.
All living things depend on these?
plants
Do animals that eat other animals depend on plants?

How do plants depends on plants?
As epiphytes or parasites some plants depend on other plants.
How do plants animals depend on each other In desert region?
Animals depend on plants because plants breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxegon animals need to breath. Plants depend on animals for seed dispersal and pollination.
Why animal and plants depend on each other?
Animals depend on plants for carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Also because some animals need plants for food. Plants depend on animals for seed dispersal and pollination. Many animals depend on plants. Most animals just eat them, but some animals will you plants as shelter, to hide from predators, and many other reasons. Plants also depend on animals for energy. When an animal dies it provides nutrients for the plants to feed off of.
What are plants that grow on top of other plants?
they are epiphytes, they depend on the plant they're growing on.
