As a 12-year-old, you should know that there are many plants and animals that humans rely on for food, clothing, shelter, and other daily needs. Here are some examples:

Economic Plants:

2. Cotton: Cotton is used to make clothes. Farmers plant cotton seeds, and when the cotton flowers bloom, they pick the cotton fibers and spin them into yarn.
3. Sugarcane: Sugarcane is used to make sugar. Farmers plant sugarcane seeds, and when the canes grow tall, they harvest them and squeeze out the juice to make sugar.

Economic Animals:

1. Cows: Cows give us milk, meat, and leather. Farmers raise cows on farms, feeding them grass and giving them water. They milk the cows daily and raise their young for meat.
2. Sheep: Sheep give us wool, meat, and milk. Farmers raise sheep on farms, feeding them grass and shearing their wool every year.
3. Chickens: Chickens give us eggs and meat. Farmers raise chickens in coops, feeding them food and collecting their eggs daily.

Cultivation and Care:

To cultivate these plants and animals, farmers use various techniques, such as:

• Irrigation: providing water to plants and animals
• Fertilizers: adding nutrients to the soil to help plants grow
• Pest control: protecting plants and animals from diseases and pests
• Breeding: selecting the best plants and animals to produce more of the desired traits

Humans rely on these plants and animals for many things, and by taking good care of them, we can ensure a steady supply of food, clothing, and other essentials.
