Plants come in all shapes, colors and sizes, ranging from the largest of trees to the simplest of clovers. However, regardless of their sizes, they all have various important features in nature. To begin with, they all provide oxygen (especially aquatic plants), which is a key gas that animals use for respiration. Secondly, flowers in particular help in pollination to produce more plants and plant types. Example of this process, when a bee collects its pollen from a plant, then continues to another, it cross pollinates another plant or area. Other basic functions of plants are providing food and shelter for animals in nature.
Questions:
1. What type of plants produce the most oxygen?
2. What does pollination result in?
3. Are all plants useful?
