Lightning is so strong that when it strikes it lights up a tremendous amount of area around it. Lightning helps living things that need light. Just like the sun. Lightning may strike a particular area where the sun hasn't shown in a while. And just with that quick glimpse of light, that plant or flower just received its share of light in order to remain living. The sun may not shine bright all day, but if it were a terrible thunderstorm and lightning was striking heavily, those living things have now received an alternate portion of light yto keep them alive. So lightning can be looked at as an alternate for the sun for the small living things that dont see the sun often.
