This oxygen is what almost all animals need to survive. They absorb Carbon Dioxide from the air and discharge Oxygen through very tiny pores in the leaves.<\/p><p>Air is also important for living organisms in the soil to survive and function. Without soil aeration, decomposers cannot work on organic matter to decompose them, as soil moisture alone is not enough for decomposition. Moving air (wind) is also important for some plants to pollinate.<\/p><h3>Animals<\/h3><p>Animals including humans need oxygen to live. We breathe in oxygen and breathe out Carbon Dioxide. There are also air pockets in soils and water that help tiny living things survive in water and beneath the soils. For example, fishes absorb Oxygen from the water with their gills. All animals are adapted with special organs and parts that help them absorb the oxygen they need from the air.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element
