Plants can communicate and respond to touch. Does that mean they're intelligent?
Briefly

Plants communicate through a language of chemical gasses. Recent research suggests plants exhibit 'intelligence' challenging traditional views. They use past information to make future 'choices.'
Plants exhibit 'agency,' actively influencing their outcomes. For example, tomato plants repel caterpillars by making leaves unappetizing. Corn plants attract parasitic wasps based on caterpillar saliva samples.
Our understanding of plant intelligence and consciousness is evolving, beyond the scope of conventional science. Despite challenges in defining these concepts, plant behaviors are undeniable.
