Why do you give off wastes?

Because as we move and grow, this uses fuel which invariably creates waste. If we didn't release the wastes, they'd accumulate in our bodies and we'd get very sick and die.

For example, we breathe to take in oxygen, which is essential for 'cellular respiration' which creates the energy our cells need to function. The corresponding waste product of this is carbon dioxide, which travels back to the lungs and we breathe it out. Then we can breathe in more oxygen, and the cycle repeats.

How do plants get rid of solid wastes?

Most plants do not have solid wastes. Only those plants that eat insects have solid wastes. The venus fly trap and sundew let the rotted bodies of insects fly away in the wind when they open up. In the pitcher plant, the rotted bodies decompose in the bottom of the water trap. Plants that do not eat insects do not have any solid wastes to get rid of. They get their nutrients from the soil with their roots, they also take in water, and take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. They do not have solid wastes.
