    Material downloaded from myCBSEguide.com. 4 / 6


    Plants and flowers are very important to human beings. Here are some of the important
    things that plants provide:

    Aesthetics: Plants have great “aesthetic” value which means they add to the beauty of the
    place.

    Medicine: History shows importance to medicine. Eighty percent drugs originate from wild
    plants. Two percent of the world’s plants species have never been tested for their medicinal
    potential. That means there are many important drugs yet to be discovered.

    Food: Although some 3,000 species of plants have been used as food by humans, 90 percent
    of the world’s food comes from only 20 plant species.

    Industrial Products: Plants are also very important for the industrial goods. Fibres from
    plants provide clothing. Some fuel products are made from plants.

    Recreation: Plant communities form the basis for many important recreational activities
    including hiking, fishing, hunting and natural observation.

    Air Quality: The oxygen in the air we breathe comes from the photosynthesis of plants.
    Plants can stop the movement of dust and pollutants. Through the intake of carbon dioxide,
    plants can also lessen the greenhouse effect caused by the burning of fossil fuels like coal.

    Water Quality: Plants are extremely important to the quality of the water we use. A diverse
    cover of plants aids in maintaining healthy watersheds, streams and lakes by holding soil in
    place, controlling stream flows, and filtering sediments from water.

    Erosion Control: The delicate wildflowers that dot the roadsides during the spring, summer
    and rainy seasons, protect the soil from erosion caused by heavy rains. Without enough
    plant cover, wind or water would erode the thin layer of soil

    Climate: Regional climates are impacted by the amount and type of plant cover. Natural
    disasters, such as drought, have been blamed on the destruction of forests and other
    critically important plant communities.

    Wildlife Habitat: Plants provide the necessary habitat for wildlife.

    Ecosystem: The word ‘ecosystem’ means the way in which human, plants and animals all

    live together supporting each other. Every species serves an important role or purpose to
    the community.

    Ways in which one can help protect Plants

    1. Support: We can help the organisations that protect the endangered plants. We can
    become their member, an active volunteer and make financial contribution to their work.

    2. Follow Ethical Gardening Practices: If you garden the native plants, don’t transplant
    from the wild. Make sure that the plants you purchased have not been collected from forests
    but grown.
