Other people or other living things in general?

Moss benefits other living things because:
1. Moss is habitat for many small invertebrates including tardigrades. http://www.palaeos.com/Invertebrates/Arthropods/Tardigrada/Tardigrada.html
2. Moss is food for various herbivores.
3. Moss is material for birds to construct their nests.
4. Moss covers the ground to prevent erosion in shady places where other plants may not grow.
5. Moss decays and adds its organic matter to the soil, enriching the soil and adding to the soil depth.
6. Moss is decorative in rock gardens and Asian moss gardens.
