Animals are heterotrophic, meaning they must consume other organisms to obtain their food, while plants are autotrophic and can make their own food through photosynthesis. Animals have specialized digestive systems to break down the food they consume, while plants absorb nutrients from the soil through their roots.

Why photosynthetic tissues are not found in animals?
Animals do not have chloroplasts, the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants, so they are not capable of producing their own food through photosynthesis. Animals have evolved to obtain nutrients by consuming other organisms or organic matter, rather than creating their own energy from sunlight like plants do.
Why do animals depend on plants?
Animals depend on plants for food, as they provide essential nutrients like carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Additionally, plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis, which animals need to breathe. Some animals also rely on plants for shelter and nesting materials.
Where do animals get their energy they need?
Their food, directly. As that food is either plants, or animals that eat plants, or animals that eat animals that eat plants, and so on, every animal indirectly gets its energy from the sun.Save for animals around thermal vents in the ocean depths, of course, those ultimately get it from warmth and minerals.

Why are plants important to animals?
