Mimosa pudica is a perennial herb of the Fabaceae pea family and is native to Central and South America. Also known as the touch me not plant or the sensitive plant, is well-known for closing its leaves (or folding its leaves inwards) when touched.

When it comes to playing with plants, there’s no greater pleasure than touching the leaves of the touch-me-not plant and watching them recoil, shrink, and “go to sleep”. I used to do it a lot as a kid, and still do, whenever a chance presents itself.

by sensitive plants if u meant plants like mimosa/touch-me-not plant,it is because they are sensitive to touch or any other external force applied or stimulus.
this is an adaptation in those type of plants to provide as a defence for their leaves against herbivores.....
hope it helped.....
