Microorganisms that are part of the body's normal flora play many roles in the body some of them are still undefined, but here are a few examples of what microorganims do:

1. Immune defense: They compete with pathogenic bacteria and prevent pathogenic bacteria from growing.

2. Digestion: They help digest and break down food in your small and large intestines which your body can use. People who have problems digesting certain kinds of food usually have the wrong balance of microorganisms.
