? And I think that the question has huge philosophical importance !!!
.
This question occured to me some 2-3 days ago , and I cant find any answer by net or otherwise.
.
Lets define plant as an organism which consumes more carbon dioxide than it emits and it emits more oxygen than it consumes. Animal is something that is opposite.
.
And we can also define plant as something that can convert sunlight into chemical (storable) energy, while animal is something opposite --- it cant use sunlight and it needs storable energy !!
.
Now let me come to THE QUESTION --- except small algea etc, ALL plants are stationary i.e. immobile.
.
Why is it so?
.
The question "why animals are never stationary" has simple answer. An animal needs chemical energy by eating plants and / or other animals and so if animal is immobile, then it will just die.
.
But I see no simple answer to "why no plant is mobile?" !! Is it that plant cant be mobile? That looks odd --- because mobility doesnt reduce ability to photosyntehise i.e. ability to convert sunlight into chemical energy or ability to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen?
.
Why could God despite all his might, could NOT create mobile plants? (I do believe in God 3 days a week, though today i.e. Friday isnt one of that day ). And why couldnt evoluntion create a plant that is mobile?
..
And I suspect that the question has HUGE philosophical importance.
,
Anyway --- doesnt anyone know "why God or evolution didnt give birth to any mobile plant" , except some small algea?
.

.
If you desire to help a plant , then you will need to walk to the plant and give him water / fertilizer etc ; the plan wont come to you.
.
We all know and say that "if you are thirsty , then you will need to walk to a well, the well will not come to you".
.
But a plant no matter how thirsty it is --- can never come to a well. And well cant walk to a plant either.
.
And if you wish to feed a cow or a dog or any human or any animal, then that dog / cow etc may walk to you --- you need to walk to them.
.
But if you wish to fee a plant, then you will need to walk to that plant, the plant will never come to you.
