PLZ HELP...Why was the steam engine important to the Industrial Revolution?

It made factory working conditions safer for workers.

Answer:

It provided a source of power for many kinds of machines.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before steam power, almost everything was worked by hand, so this really helped with that. It didn't really make things much safer though.
