For centuries, plants were considered silent, passive entities in the natural world. Most people viewed them as simple organisms that absorbed sunlight, water, and nutrients from the soil, but did little more than grow and reproduce. However, groundbreaking research in the fields of botany and ecology has shattered this outdated perception. In fact, plants are anything but passive.
