The Secrets of Plants

Plants send messages in different ways, including:

Chemical signals: Some plants release chemicals into the air when under attack (e.g., when insects eat their leaves).
Root networks: Trees share nutrients and information through underground fungi, often called the “Wood Wide Web.”
Movement: Some plants physically react to their surroundings (e.g., sunflowers turn toward the sun).

Task:
1. Imagine you are a plant in a forest, garden, or even a small houseplant.
2. What might you say to the plants around you? How would you warn them about danger or share resources?
3. Write a short conversation (at least four lines each) between two plants using only non-verbal communication methods (like scent, touch, or root signals).
