According to research, there is some evidence that plants may have basic sentience.

- They react to the sound of pests with the same defensive behavior they react to the presence of pests, which means they may feel fear in some form

- They react to harmful intentions, before action is taken, which means they can interpret intentions and feelings

- When they are under direct threat, they alert nearby plants not only to the presence of a threat, but also about its nature

- Some types even have a sort of kinship, and won't compete for light with each other in a crowded enviroment, only with other types of plants
