Plants are as adept as animals and humans in reacting effectively to their ever-changing environment. Of necessity, their sessile nature requires specific adaptations, but their cells possess a network-type communication system with emerging properties at the level of the organ or entire plant. The specific adjustments in growth and development of plants can be taken to represent behavior. Their ability to learn from experience and to memorize previous experiences in order to optimize fitness allows effective acclimation to environmental stresses and can be considered a form of intelligence. Intelligent behavior is exemplified by the exceptional versatility of plants to deal with abiotic stresses as well as microbial and insect attack by balancing appropriate defensive reactions.
植物在有效应对不断变化的环境方面与动物和人类一样熟练。由于其固着的特性，它们需要特定的适应性，但它们的细胞拥有一个在器官或整个植物水平上具有新特性的网络型通信系统。植物生长和发育中的特定调整可被视为行为表现。它们从经验中学习并记住先前经验以优化适应性的能力，使其能够有效适应环境压力，这可被视为一种智能形式。植物具有非凡的多功能性，通过平衡适当的防御反应来应对非生物胁迫以及微生物和昆虫攻击，这便是智能行为的例证。
