Answer:

bacteria have several roles in the body. For example, intestinal bacteria:

Produce vitamin B12 and vitamin K.

Control the growth of harmful bacteria.

Break down poisons in the large intestine.

Break down some substances in food that cannot be digested, such as fiber and some starches and sugars. Bacteria produce enzymes that digest carbohydrates in plant cell walls. Most of the nutritional value of plant material would be wasted without these bacteria. These help us digest plant foods like spinach.
