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


• Animals are more diverse than plants because they have adapted better to the changing environment.


• Animals have more complex body structure and brain capacity as compared to the plants.


• Animals are locomotive and can migrate.


Hence, species diversity of plants is less compared to that if the animals.
