Plant Behavior

Plant behavior refers to how plants respond to their environment to survive and reproduce. Unlike animals, they don't move from place to place but adjust their growth, development, and activity based on external cues. For example, they can grow towards light (phototropism), roots may grow toward water (hydrotropism), and flowering can be triggered by changes in temperature or day length (phenology). These responses help plants optimize access to resources and adapt to changing conditions, demonstrating a form of intelligent behavior essential for their survival in dynamic environments.
