What is dependence of plants on animals?

If you look at food cycles and webs, it always starts with a plant. the herbivores (plant eating animals) and the omnivores( eats both meat and plants) feed on these. the omnivores and carnivores (meat eating animals) eat the herbivores and other omnivores. plants also convert Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen so animals can breathe. So, to cut a long story short, if we didn't have plants, nothing would be able to survive.
