Plants are amazing living things that can be found all around us. They play a very important role in our lives. They give us oxygen (氧气), which we need to take in. They also give us food, medicine (药物), and materials for building things.
Plants need sunlight, water, and nutrients (营养) from the soil to grow. Sunlight helps plants make their own food through photosynthesis (光合作用). During this, plants take in carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) from the air and release (释放) oxygen. This is why plants are so important for the environment. Different plants grow in different environments. For example, the cacti (仙人掌) can live with very little water. They save water in their thick stems (茎).
Moreover, plants are also important for animals. Many animals depend on (依靠) plants for food and shelter (住所). For example, bees collect nectar (花蜜) from flowers to make honey. Birds build their nests (巢) in trees. Without plants, many animals can not be able to live in the earth.
In a word, plants are essential for life on Earth. They give us good things and help keep our planet healthy. We should take care of plants and protect them.
