Question
Plants are the multicellular eukaryotes, predominately that can produce food photosynthetically (that is, using solar energy to prepare food). All the non- photosynthetic organism or heterotrophs depend on plants for food, but except that there are many other ways by which an organism can depend on plant.
1. Importance of plants for animalia kindom(which includes humans:
It provides food - as all the animalia kingdom members are heterotrophs they directly or indirectly depend on plants for food.It purifies air by removing CO2and excreting O2(very important for respiration) during photosyntheis.plants are used as medicines.plants maintain water cycle, thus providing another important resource required by them.plants provide habitat for variety of animals .
2. significance of plants for fungi:
fungi are also heterotrops and hence they depend on plants for food but, there relation with plants is somewhat different than animals. They exibhit a mutual dependency relationship with plants, where they get food from plant in turn of protection they provide protection from harmful pest at its root. This relationship is called as mycrrohizae.
3. protists are actually found as pathogen for plants ,which property of its is, nowadays used in agriculture to protect plants againts various other pathogens.
4.bacteria can form many different types of relation with plants, it could be pathogenic or be in a mutual benefecial relationship.Bcaterias can cause various plant diseases but, there are also plant growth promoting bacteria.
