Solution
Forests are called the green lungs because plants in forests release oxygen through photosynthesis and help provide oxygen to animals for respiration. Plants also consume carbon dioxide released by animals. In this way, plants help maintain a balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
