Default Plants like asbestos?

So I now understand why asbestos is so toxic. When animals breathe it in
it
is like tiny knives or needles in the lung of the animal. As white blood
cells
and other cells come in contact with the asbestos fiber its ends are so
sharp
as to cut or pierce the cells and thus lending those cells prone to a
mutation
of cancer forming area. And the fact that this asbestos, once in the
lungs
is almost impossible to get out of the lung.

But I wonder about plants. I used to bury old fiberglass in the ground
and
especially with new trees or transplants because fiberglass is really a
form
of sand material and plants surely love some sand in clay soils.

But what about asbestos burial around plants. Do the plants like the
asbestos?
Or is asbestos just like another clay itself?

And if asbestos is buried in the ground will that render it less toxic
over time?

Anyone have experience on these issues raised.

of the electron-dot-cloud are galaxies
