Question

What is flora and fauna?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Flora....:-

The term flora in Latin means “Goddess of the Flower.” Flora is a collective term for a group of plant life found in a particular region. The whole plant kingdom is represented by this name.

Flora is classified and differentiated based on many factors. The best one among them is the area in which they grow or are found. Some grow in desert regions or in water, some are found in hilly areas while some are endemic to a specific geographic location.

Fauna.....:-

Fauna represents the animal life indigenous to a region. There are many explanations regarding the origin of the word. As per Roman mythology, Fauna or “Faunus” is the name of the goddess of fertility. Another source is “Fauns” which means “Forest spirits.“

Animal kingdom comprises a variety of animal life forms. Hence, the classification of fauna is much more complex than the floral division. Therefore, for ease of classification;

• Birds are categorized under the name Avifauna.
• Fishes under Pisci Fauna.
• Microorganisms including bacteria and virus are generally considered under animal kingdom, they are known as Microfauna.
• All unknown and undiscovered animals are named as cryptofauna.
