Thank you, @yvesoler, for the considerable advice about the social importance of plants, as group of living things in the world.
I read Guidance & Counselling, B. Ed., a course related to Counselling Psychology. That's why, I have more knowledge of the animal world, than the plant world.
But, I believe that, whatever the animals have exhibited for their survival, the plants are bound to have similar tendencies. Because, they will both have to survive through the perils of this world.
But, I believe that the animals, as represented by the human beings, have shown more tendencies of a highly adaptive social and emotional lifestyle, through their rate of advanced development and dominant influence in the world of today.
I really believe that, the plants will have complimentary social and adaptive behaviour, to favour what the animals could have being doing. But, they will ultimately lack the social pressure exhibited by us, as they are lacking in the corresponding social tendencies.
I haven't being able to listen to Stefano Mancuso, about Plant Intelligence, but I will really do that later.
I only replied early, so that I won't delay the conversation.
You have really informed me about the plants.
Thanks again.

I appreciate the reply. Don't worry about the speed; I am also very busy in this period, so take your time.
I have a feeling your thoughts will change once you start learning about the work by Mancuso and Simard and many others. Remember, plants make up 99.7% of our planet. They are among the oldest beings on the planet and have not only survived, they continuously evolve to colonize new environments. Social relationships are the key to their existence. And while you do not think of them as dominant, just look at any sidewalk and watch how plants break through the strongest of concrete when they want to reach a specific location. We can't survive without them, but they will do just fine once we are gone.
