Many plants die if their roots become too wet. Others prefer wet roots and thrive in boggy conditions. The climate also affects the growth of plants. There are areas near Hudson's Bay that do not have enough warm days to permit trees to grow. Other 'tundra' plants grow in such areas because they are hardy enough to withstand the cold and do not need to compete with trees for sunlight.
All animals have bodies that can take a certain climate, cold or warm, wet or dry.
Animals must eat plants or other animals as food. The kinds of plants that live in an area are determined by the climate and land or water surface. The animals depend either on certain plants or on the animals that eat those plants. To describe the habitat of an animal, it is usually enough to tell into what plant community it lives. That usually tells about the climate, surface of the earth, sunshine and other animals that live in a place.
