Accepted Answer

The class Insecta, indeed, has more species than any other group of animals, making it the most diverse group in the animal kingdom. Insects play significant roles in human health and the economy, acting as vectors for diseases and pests in agriculture, respectively. Ecologically, they are crucial for processes such as pollination, decomposition, and serving as a food source for other animals. The loss of insect species would lead to catastrophic disruptions in natural ecosystems.
