The Nature and importance of Plants

Man always lives with plants but most of us probably do not realize how important plants are in our daily life and we are still just as dependent upon plants as primitive man was thousands of years ago. Not only do plants provide us with food, clothing and shelter, but other necessary or desirable articles as well. All our food and clothing are produced either directly or indirectly by plants. There exist more than 250,000 species of plants on the earth.

When grouped together they are known as plant kingdom. Plants vary in size, structure, form, reproduction, in their requirements and their usefulness to man.

As to the size, some plants such as bacteria are made up of only one cell and are so small that they can be distinguished only with the aid of a microscope. Others are very large, as, for instance, redwood trees growing in California that may be 350 feet high with a diameter of 20 feet at the base. There are plants such as fungi, that neither true stem nor leaves and do not produce flowers and seeds. They, as well as algae, are the lowest forms of plant life.

Some plants grow only under rather moist conditions whereas others prefer dry conditions rather than moist and are limited to hot dry areas. These few examples are sufficient to illustrate how greatly plants vary.

Because of the large number of widely differing forms of plants, it has been necessary to place them into groups according to similarity of parts.

The plant forms best known to most people are those that are useful to man. Many of these are grown and cultivated by the farmers and therefore are called farm crops. Many of the farm crops, however, are not used directly by man, being rather sources of feed for animals which in turn produce valuable food products used by man. Some crops are used by industry in the manufactoiy of various articles. Certain plants are constantly being put to new uses and many crops are for a number of proposes. Certainly there may be plants the value of which has not been as yet discovered. Undoubtedly we do not yet know all the uses that can be made of crops and other plans.
