While plants lack a nervous system and brain, their ability to process information, respond to stimuli, and adapt to their environment in sophisticated ways has led to a growing recognition of plant intelligence. This concept continues to evolve as research uncovers more about the intricate and dynamic behaviors of plants. Plant intelligence refers to the idea that plants possess complex abilities to sense, respond, and adapt to their environment in ways that resemble cognitive functions in animals. This concept challenges traditional views of intelligence as being exclusive to animals and humans.
