उत्तर
Plants and animals in a forest show interdependence. Plants present in the forest fulfil all the needs of animals present there. Plants provide O2 to the animals to respire. They also provide food to all the animals directly or indirectly. Herbivores obtain food directly from plants, carnivores depend on herbivores for food. Trees in the forest provide shelter to forest animals. Hence, we can say that all the needs of animals in a forest are fulfilled.
