The main importance of plants in our lives are that they take in Carbon Dioxide (Co2) that we breath out and in place theylet out oxygen which we breath in. Without plants we would run out of oxygen and die very quickly. This applies not just to us humans but to all animals as well.They are also the source of food. Animals eat plants or other animals and we eat the plants or the animals that depends on other animals and/or plants.

A huge majority of modern pharmecuticals are derived from plants found in their natural ecosystem. Although sythesizing chemicals for medicen is possible, it is much cheaper to derive them from naturally occurring sources. Bioprospecting (harvesting plants in a foreign region to create products, especially medicine) is a huge industry in the Amazon rainforest.
