Some of what you say is true, but see interspersed comments


viewpoints held. I would appreciate details which show that plants
cannot distinguish between something living and dead though, that is a
new theory to me.

Do you also need evidence to show that a stone or any other non living
object cannot distinguish between something living and dead .

though plants do not see with eyes, they
are able to detect direction of light, and they are able to work out how
to react to light.

Are photo sensetive chemicals sentient because they react to light? Do they
work out how to react?
Does water work out to flow downhill?


Plants are entirely independent of animals for their survival, they were
around on this planet long before animals developed.

Plants are almost entirely dependent on animals for the oxygen-carbon cycle.
