Living Together

Everywhere in the world, different kinds of plants and animals live
together.
Some animals eat plants they live with. Some animals eat other animals
they live with. Some animals move far in search of food. Some animals
stay near the same place. But all these animals and plants are important
to each other—and to us!
If it weren’t for some insects, many kinds of plants could not have
seeds. If many plant-eating animals didn’t have natural enemies that eat
them, the plants would be destroyed. If there were no worms and other
tiny creatures that live underground there would be no rich soil for the
roots of plants. And if there were no green plants, there would be no
animals
—and no people.
It takes all the plants and animals living together to keep the earth a
good place for them—and us—to live in.
