The species diversity of plants (22 %) is much less than that of animals (72 %). What could be the explanations to how animals archieved greater diversification ?

Explanation

About more than 70% of species recorded on the earth are animal species. Only 22% plant species exist. So analysing the data, we can understand that, there is quiet a large difference in their percentage. This 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.
