Scientists estimate that only 1 percent of prokaryotes can be grown in the lab. what does this suggest about our knowledge of bacteria and archaea

Prokaryotes are large in number and diversity. Some of the prokaryotes like E.coli can be grown in the lab in an innoculum or in an agarose plate. But the rest of the prokaryotes require exact conditions of their environment to be met in the lab for their growth, which is hard and nearly impossible to create. Thus, it makes the study of prokaryotes hard. Archae are mostly the extremophiles that live in extreme environments like salt marsh, hot and cold places. This suggests that the study of prakaryotes and archae is hard and the current knowledge of their diversity is incomplete.
