Answer: Rods
Step-by-step explanation:
The rod cells in the retina are the reason we are able to see at night and in dim light. They exist on the edges of the retina which is why they are also very useful for the peripheral vision of a human.
Rod cells number over 90 million in the eyes and although very useful for seeing in dimmer light, they are not very useful for color vision which is why humans see less colors in the dark.
