What biblical passage are you basing your question on? Have you looked carefully at the near and larger context?

You have evidently found no information about this question in Scripture, correct? Ans. Deut 29:29.

What is written is that "the wages of sin is death" (Rom 6:23).

RomĀ 5:12 "Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:--" Thus, death is the RESULT of sin and not inherent in man from creation. Again, nothing is mentioned in regard to animals, plants, etc. What we are told is that Adam's sin brought a corruption of the entire creation which will be eradicated and made perfect on the New Heaven and New Earth.

Romans 8:20-22 (ASV) 20 For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
