How Can a Plant Move Without a Brain?

How can a plant move without a brain? Plants may look completely still, but some of them can move, sense, and respond to their surroundings in ways that are surprisingly complex. In this episode of Beyond Plants, we explore the fascinating world of plant movement — from the Venus flytrap snapping shut in a fraction of a second to Mimosa pudica folding its leaves when touched. We'll also discover how climbing vines find and wrap around support, how stems bend toward light, how roots respond to gravity, and how plants use electrical and chemical signals to coordinate these responses. There are no muscles. No nervous system. No brain. So how do plants do it? Discover the remarkable ways plants sense their environment, transmit information through their tissues, and change their movement and growth in response.
