Why do animals have greater diversification than plant diversity?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

More than 70% of species recorded on earth are animals and 22% are plants. This is because the animals have adapted themselves to ensure their survival in changing environments in comparison to plants. Eg. Presence of nervous system helps animals to control and co-ordinate their body structures. Therefore diversification in animals is more than in plants.
