Diversity in Plants and Animals Around Us :-

Diversity in plants and animals means the variety of living organisms found in our surroundings. Different plants and animals have different shapes, sizes, habits, and habitats.

Diversity in Plants

Plants are found in many forms, such as:

  • Trees (tall and strong)
  • Shrubs (medium-sized plants)
  • Herbs (small and soft plants)
  • Climbers and Creepers (plants that need support or spread on the ground)

Plants also differ based on where they grow:

  • Terrestrial plants grow on land
  • Aquatic plants grow in water

Diversity in Animals

Animals also show great variety. They differ in:

  • Size and shape (small insects to large elephants)
  • Food habits (herbivores, carnivores, omnivores)
  • Movement (walking, flying, swimming, crawling)

Animals live in different habitats:

  • Terrestrial animals live on land
  • Aquatic animals live in water
  • Amphibians live both on land and in water

Importance of Diversity

  • Helps maintain balance in nature
  • Provides food, shelter, and resources
  • Shows how living beings adapt to their environment
