And there's another opinion that 'Photosynthesis is not important because it only benefits plants.' Who do you think is correct?

Michael: Photosynthesis is important because it produces carbon dioxide for plants and other living organisms.
Aria: Photosynthesis is important because it helps plants grow faster.
