Best Answer

Milkweed plants are threatened primarily due to habitat loss, agricultural practices, and the use of herbicides. Loss of habitat reduces the availability of suitable areas for milkweed to grow, leading to declines in populations. Additionally, milkweed is a primary food source for Monarch Butterflies, and the decline in milkweed plants has contributed to the decline in monarch butterfly populations.
