What are the things for which man depends on plants?

We get many important things that we need every day from plants. They give us food, materials and keep the air fresh. The food we eat consists mainly of cereals, fruits and vegetables. Cereals are grains of plants like rice, wheat, oats, barley, maize and rye. The sweet and fleshy part of the plant that contains the seed is called a fruit, e.g., apple, orange and banana.
