Describe an important Tree or plant in your country

Sample Answer:

Nature has always provided humans with all the resources propitious to fulfill our needs. One such resource is flora which is vital for all advanced life forms on our planet. There are innumerable varieties of plants that have their importance. Basil, locally known as Tulsi, is most imperative, especially in my country, India.

Tulsi is also known as the holy basil herb and has indispensable importance for its medicinal qualities. Found in almost every Indian household, it is copious in the wilderness, and other places, especially temples. It is worshipped and highly regarded in Indian culture. It is a boon as it has high nutritional value, enhances metabolism, abates stress levels, and can control your blood sugar level.

I learned about this plant and its benefits from my mother, who only believes in homemade cures. It can heal many skin disorders like blackheads, acne, and premature aging.
