Can plants survive without animals?

Asked by Venessa74

Answer (2)

Yes. With very very very few exceptions, plants don't depend on a diet rich in animals in order to grow and maintain their health.
The reverse is not true.

Plants can survive without animals because they produce their own food through photosynthesis. However, in certain ecosystems, animals play a crucial role in pollination and maintaining soil health. Therefore, while plants can exist independently, their coexistence with animals can enhance their growth and reproduction.
