essay on plants have feelings too
Answers
Plants, most prominently known for giving us oxygen, food and what not but us, humans, consider them emotion less. According to research done by J.C. Bose, it was found that plants have life too and a recent study found that plants cry when being mistreated. So all these studies proved that plants have emotion too, it is us humans who are losing them

Human beings have five senses – taste, touch, sight, hearing and smell. These senses help us navigate the world and act as warning signs of dangers. We use them to make everyday decisions; for example, when it starts raining we pull out our umbrellas, and when it’s hot we take off our jackets.
Although they may seem passive, plants have their own complex sensory systems too, designed to respond to dangers or other changes in their environment.Plants may not have eyes, ears or a tongue, but their skin can perform many of the same functions. Plants are not only aware of when it rains or when it’s windy, but they can respond accordingly.
Dr Kim Johnson, a research fellow in the School of BioSciences, University of Melbourne, studies the world of plant senses.

“Plants are constantly under environmental stresses. You can actually see how plants respond to those physical stresses because they change their shape,” Dr Kim Johnson says.
“So if a plant is getting constantly hit with strong wind, it will actually change shape to better resist that wind; if roots hit a rock, they’ll grow around it, so they sense things around them.”Plant skin has a complex job to do but not much to do it with. The plant epidermis is a single layer of cells that must be thin enough to let sunlight through to the inner-layer of cells responsible for photosynthesis. But it must also be strong enough so it can resist damage and the pressures of ongoing tension.
“When the epidermis feels under too much tension it responds by either strengthening itself to resist the stress or relaxes to release the pressure,” Dr Johnson explains.
“It’s important it is to understand how the epidermis does all these essential roles.”
