what is the meaning of flora and fauna
Flora Flora is the plant life occurring in a particular region or time, generally the naturally occurring or indigenousâ€”native plant life. The corresponding term for animal life is fauna. Flora, fauna and other forms of life such as fungi are collectively referred to as biota. Sometimes bacteria and fungi are also referred to as flora, as in the terms gut flora or skin flora.[1][2][3]
