Humans and animals are completely dependent on plants.

Plants are useful to use in many ways. Plants provide us with the basic requirements for survival. The most important needs of human beings are food, clothing and housing. They are fulfilled by plants to a large extent. Plants are the main source of food in the form of cereals, legumes, vegetables, fruits and oil.

Plants provide us with clothing material. Cotton and flax are fiber-producing plants. Cotton is obtained from the hair of the cotton seed coat. These cotton fibers are used to weave clothes. The hemp and jute obtained from the stem are not only used to make bags, ropes and carpets, but are also used today to make clothing. Flax fiber is also obtained from the stem and used as a fine cloth fiber, for example, linen, cloth, yarn, canvas, carpet, etc.

All life is ultimately dependent on plants. If there were no plants, all life on earth would come to an end, because plants produce food, if there is no food to eat, man and animal will starve. Plants also give oxygen. If there is no oxygen, no living thing would survive without breathing. Plants need an adequate amount of sunlight, air, water, and temperature to grow well.

Since ancient times, plants have been used as medicines. Herbal medicines are prepared solely from plants; these do not cause side effects compared to synthetic ones.

Plants that have soft, green, perishable stems are called herbs, for example coriander, mint, spinach, oregano, and fennel, and even the banana plant is a giant herb. Grasses are very small, low-growing plants that live for only a few months. Most herbs add good flavor to food.

The flower, which is a part of the plant, is usually the most beautiful and showy part of the reproductive organ of the plant. The sole function of the flower is to produce seed and fruit for reproduction. Flowering plants are grown in homes, gardens, parks, and pathways for their bright colors, beautiful shapes, and sweet smell. Cut flowers are used for interior decoration in houses and restaurants.

The petals of some flowers contain sweet-smelling oil that is used to make perfumes or scents. The most common ones used are rose, jasmine, kiore, and lavender. The clove is also a flower bud that is used to flavor our food.

Different types of plants and flowers make our land green and beautiful. To reap its benefits, you can consider growing it in your garden.
