Answer 1

Hint: In a broader way, the flora relates to all plant lives and the term fauna represents all animal life.

Complete step by step answer:
Flora is a collective term for a group of plant life found in a particular region. They are classified and differentiated based on many factors. One of them is the area in which they grow or are found. According to the place they have adaptations also. For example: Cactus are found in deserts, they have adaptations like modified leaves or prickles to minimize transpiration and protect themselves from predators. The agricultural flora consists of plants cultivated by men for their use. Horticulture is the practice of growing ornamental and decorative flowers which are also known as garden flora.

Fauna represents the animal life inhabiting a region. The Fauna word means the god of fertility. It consists of many animal kingdoms and many life forms. Hence fauna is much more complex than floral division.

Note: The term flora in Latin means the `Goddess of Flowers’. From here you can remember that flora is something related to flowers i.e. plant life.
