Phosphorite

Phosphorite is a type of rock that is found deep in the ground. It is very special because it contains something called phosphorus.

Phosphorus is a very important nutrient that helps plants and animals grow. It is like a special vitamin that plants and animals need to be healthy.

When we use up all the phosphorus in the soil, plants can't grow as well. This can be a big problem because we need plants to help us survive. We eat plants and animals that eat plants, so if the plants can't grow, we can't get enough food to eat.

That's why it's important to find phosphorus in rocks like phosphorite. We can extract the phosphorus from the rocks and use it to make fertilizer. Fertilizer helps us grow more plants and feed more people.
