“In sports, a most valuable player, or MVP, is the person most responsible for a team's success. Which organisms are the MVPs of life? Certainly not us—we could disappear from this planet, and other forms of life would go on just fine. The real stars of life on Earth, its MVPs, are its microorganisms, fungi, and plants. We almost never notice these superstars, unless we look very closely, but without them our lives would be impossible.”
