Plants are capable of perceiving the world and have their unique way of calling for help.
Plants are not just passive organisms but also capable of perceiving the world in many ways. They possess sophisticated abilities, including at least 15 senses, which are necessary for survival, growth, reproduction, and self-defense.
In the past, plants were considered less developed organisms and thought to be devoid of senses. However, today we know that this is not true. Plants have multiple senses, including the ability to see without eyes, respond to touch, communicate through scents, and taste. Additionally, they can sense gravity, the magnitude of electromagnetic fields, humidity levels, and analyze differences in chemical concentrations.
Professor Stefano Mancuso from the University of Florence, the director of the International Laboratory of Plant Neurobiology, argues that plants are much more sensitive than us and possess at least 15 senses. However, not all researchers agree with this perspective. Some of them, believe that plants have five or six senses, not at least 15.
