OpenStudy (anonymous):

*Think

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@Nicksl99 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@quickstudent they are use to eat unwanted or useless plants

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Ok, let me tell you. They are an organism, especially a soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate, that decomposes organic material. They are the organisms that make soil.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

so without them, there would be no soil

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Now what do you think is the answer?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@Nicksl99 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

@Nicksl99 , what do plants live in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soil

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

So what would happen to plants if there weren't any soil?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they would die

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Yes, so what is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B?

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Well, the exact answer would be a, because we're talking about plants. I guess if you call crops producers, than that would be correct too, but I think you should take a.

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Do you understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (quickstudent):

Ok, thanks for the medal, and be sure you understand, so you would know in the future.
