Read the passage.A spring is a body of water that forms when groundwater gathers on the Earth’s surface. A lake is a body of water that is surrounded by land on all sides. Some lakes are springs, but not all. The springs in Florida are unique natural resources that should be protected at all costs.

The passage calls Florida’s springs “unique natural resources” that “should be protected at all costs.” This supports the idea that springs are important assets. The passage does not compare how fragile or common springs and lakes are, or say where springs can form.
