Abstract

Microbes are living organisms that are lived everywhere in our environment. They occupy a place in, on, and around humans, plants, and animals. They have mutualistic, parasitic, and commensalism relationships with other organisms. The study of these microorganisms which live in a special habitat is called the microbiome. Plant microbiome function and their types have been discussed. Phyllosphere, endosphere, and rhizosphere microbiomes take important roles in plant growth by multiple mechanisms. It has been declared that Microbiome is important for us, animals, and as well as plants. Mutualistic microorganisms support animals' and plants' health and protect them from diseases and pests. The phyllosphere, endosphere, and rhizosphere are the components of the plant that live plenty of microbes there. They fix nitrogen, dissolve nutrients, decompose organic materials, and promote plant growth.  To sum up, microbes clean up our environment, decompose wastes, help diet, support survival, and do many tasks in, on, and around organisms.
