Answer:

It helps them survive

Step-by-step explanation:

Mimicry is when animals have forms and coloration that makes them blend in with their environment, which helps them to escape from their predators or approach their prey undetected and thus mimicry helps organisms survive. An example is the stick insect. They look like real sticks in shape and color and even move in a way that resembles a stick movement by the wind. This way they may escape the sharp vision of many insectivorous birds.
