Do plants and animals are dependent on each other?


The plants are associated with the animals as they provide food in the form of fruits, leaves, stems, and roots to them.

The plants also provide shelter to the animals for their survival.

In return to the services provided by the plants in the forests the animals helps in dispersal of fruits and seeds thus helps in the colonization of specific species of the plant.


Thus this can be said that the plants and animals live in a mutualistic relationship.

For example, the monkeys live in the mango trees they acquire shelter as well as mangoes as a source of food. The monkeys spread the mango seeds in the forests.
