Purchasing a yucca plant is done with many sites on the web. The key is typically to buy from a vendor or seller that is as close as possible to the home address. Sites like Plant Delights, Yuccado, and Puritan all have this plant.
Yes
the yucca moth benefits with the yucca plant so the yucca moth can get food from the yucca plant .
The native women used the Yucca's sharp leaves for sewing. They would dip the leaves in water until fiber was produced. The Yucca is also known as Our Lord's Candle. The plant lived 5-7 years. The stalk of the Yucca produced flowers in the spring. The natives would grind the seeds of the flower to make biscuits and other meals. The natives also roasted the roots in an oven.
Yucca filamentosa, the most common type, Yucca brevifolia (Joshua tree), Yucca aloifolia (Spanish bayonet), and Yucca gloriosa (Spanish dagger). Yucca baccata and Yucca glauca, are called soap plant.
I am not sure a yucca grown in a house will produce viable seeds.I have always heard that the yucca needs pollination by a speciesof moth (which would not be in your house).Best thing is to collect seedsfrom a wild yucca.If you have seeds then put them in a plastic box (keeps in humidity).Put in a layer of paper towel and about a 1/4' of water. Keep tempbetween 50 and 80. In a month many will sprout.Plant in dirt (50% organic, 50% sand) Keep damp.Roots will grow deep in the pot. Once the yucca is a few inches high,it will be hardy.A.

Yucca faxoniana was created in 1905.
It's a mutualistic relationship. The yucca plant (Mexico, Caribbean and Southern US) can't pollinate itself to grow more seeds. The yucca moth pollinates the plant and lays its eggs inside the plant. When the moth larvae hatch, they feed on the seeds of the yucca plant, but the plant only lets a certain number grow, so that they don't eat all the seeds. So by pollinating the plant, the moth develops food for its larvae and the plant as well as the moth can survive and continue. And the adult moths emerge from their underground cocoons exactly when the yucca plants are in flower, in early summer.

Yucca is the English word for yucca.
The Yucca plant gives the moth a place to lay her eggs, while the moth helps the plant reproduce. The moth brings pollen from other Yucca plants to the female portion of the plant. It then deposits the pollen into the plant. The moth also lays its eggs in the plant. Once the eggs hatch the lavae feed on the Yucca plants seeds that were formed by the pollen that the moth brought. Since both animals are benefiting from this relationship, it is called a Mutualistic association.

No. Kangaroos do not eat yucca. Yucca is not native to Australia.
"Yucca" is the genus part of the scientific name (Genus, species).

Yes, Yucca plants attract ants. This is because the plant produces a sweet-smelling substance called honeydew, which ants find attractive.
