Question

Plant species are more vulnerable to extinction than animals because:

• A. plants cannot move around and so are more prone to extinction
• B. humans depend on plants more than animals
• C. both A and B
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A plants cannot move around and so are more prone to extinction

Plants remain stationary and do not have migratory capabilities. Thus; deforestation, desertification, erosion, etc are changes that affect plants more than animals. This is one of the major reasons for faster extinction of plant species.
