Plants grow almost everywhere on Earth. Rain forests have tall trees with a thick roof. Sun barely pushes through, but other plants grow in the shade. Deserts have plants that don’t need a lot of water to grow. Some ponds and lakes have plants that grow underwater. All life on earth depends on plants.
