Life on earth depend upon metabolic diversity of prokaryotes because Prokaryotic photosynthesis provides free oxygen in the atmosphere
Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes
Archaea are unicellular prokaryotes that are adapted to living in a remarkable number of places. They are extremophiles, thriving in extreme environments such as hot springs, deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and even highly acidic or salty environments. Their diversity and adaptability make them one of the most widespread groups of organisms on Earth.
The majority of prokaryotes are made up of bacteria. This diverse group includes numerous species with various metabolic pathways, ecological roles, and adaptations. Bacteria can be found in nearly every environment on Earth, from soil and water to extreme conditions, and they play essential roles in processes such as decomposition and nutrient cycling. Additionally, archaea, another group of prokaryotes, are also significant, particularly in extreme environments, but they represent a smaller proportion compared to bacteria.

why is there so much diversity in life on earth
Prokaryotes.
According to evolution, prokaryotes were the first cells on Earth. (Prokaryotes are single-celled organisms that don't have a nucleus, if you didn't know that.)

Earth has such a diversity of plant and animal life because biodiversity completes the cycles

Prokaryotes were the only kind of life on earth approximately 2 billion years ago. They existed long before eukaryotes ever came into existence at all.
They are microorganisms.
