उत्तर
More than 70 per cent of species recorded on the Earth are animals, and only 22 per cent of species are plants. There is quite a large difference in their percentage. This variation is because animals have adapted themselves to ensure their survival in changing environments in comparison to plants. For example, insects and other animals have developed a complex nervous system to control and coordinate their body structure. Also, repeated body segments with paired appendages and external cuticles have made insects versatile and have given them the ability to survive in various habitats as compared to other life forms.
