Answer

Trees and plants help maintain the water cycle on Earth. Their roots absorb water from the Earth. This absorbed water goes back into the atmosphere through transpiration from leaves. When trees are cut down, the significant reduction in transpiration decreases the amount of water vapour released into the atmosphere leading to reduced rainfall. Deforestation also reduces cloud formation that reduces rainfall.
