      I mean that is true about a lot of things. Millions of insect plant pairs where one of the two requires the other to live.

        i mean, most of them would die without our protection and feeding, but yeah it’s very hyperbolical to say that the entire chicken species would die out if we got raptured

      Yes, but, there are so many of them that we plant that, even if we suddenly popped out of existence, there would still be enough survivors for the species to continue.

      i mean the same is true of many nectarivores and their partner plants, both species are wholly reliant upon each other to survive.
