Though plants don’t have voices, scientists have discovered that they can communicate in fascinating ways. Through chemical signals released into the air or soil, plants warn their neighbors about dangers like pests or drought. This “talking” helps nearby plants prepare defenses, showing a surprising level of awareness and cooperation.
This discovery challenges the way we think about intelligence and life. Plants may not move or speak, but their ability to sense and respond to their environment is a kind of communication all its own. Understanding how plants “talk” helps us appreciate the complex web of life and the hidden connections that keep ecosystems healthy. Shutdown123
