Discuss how are flora and fauna inter-related to each other.

Solution

We can discuss this inter-relation between flora and fauna as under :

1. Flora are the autotrophs i.e. producer of thier food themselves while fauna are heterotrophs i.e. getting their food directly or indirectly from autotrophs. If we say that a lion eats flesh, we should go further in depth and see that the prey animal i.e. deer, sheep etc. that eat grass i.e. flora.

2. Food webs and food chains make the inter-relations between the flora and fauna.

3. The highest class of mammals i.e. human beings get cradle at birth and pyre on their death from the flora.

4. Flora provides food to all living organisms while fauna provides nutrients to the soil from its waste and decay.

5. Changes can be seen in the life pattern of fauna in accordance to the changes in flora i.e. the vegetation zones. For an instance, we see animals with heavy coat of hair and fur in the temperate zone i.e. in high altitudes of the Himalayan region. Their eating habits are also accustomed with the available grass there.
