Milkweed and Thistle play crucial roles in their ecosystems as pollinator plants. Pollinators are essential for the reproduction of many plants, including those that produce fruits, vegetables, and seeds. They help maintain biodiversity by enabling plants to reproduce and thrive.Pollinators are crucial for the production of many crops that humans and other animals rely on for food. Without them, many of the foods we depend on would become scarce.
