Microorganisms, or microbes, are tiny living things that are often invisible to the naked eye, yet they play a crucial role in our lives. From helping to maintain a healthy ecosystem to producing food and medicine, microbes are essential to our survival. However, as important as they are, microbes can also be harmful, causing diseases and infections that can be life-threatening. Understanding the role of microorganisms in biology is key to harnessing their benefits while mitigating their risks.
