Flora refers to the plant life found in a particular region or environment, including trees, flowers, grasses, and other vegetation. Each ecosystem, such as forests, deserts, or wetlands, has its unique flora that contributes to the overall biodiversity and health of the area. Fauna, on the other hand, encompasses the animal life in a specific habitat. This includes mammals, birds, reptiles, insects, and aquatic creatures. The interaction between flora and fauna is essential for maintaining ecological balance, as plants provide food and shelter for animals, while animals help in pollination and seed dispersal.
