Yes, plants react to their environment in many ways, including light, touch, and vibrations. These responses help plants survive. 

How plants react to stimuli

Light: Plants grow towards light sources, a process called phototropism. 

Touch: Plants react to mechanical stimuli like human touch, wind, and rain. For example, when a rhubarb stalk is cut, thousands of genes are activated. 

Vibrations: Plants can respond to sounds, including vibrations from caterpillars feeding. For example, Arabidopsis plants exposed to caterpillar vibrations produced more mustard oils, a chemical that caterpillars dislike. 

Temperature: Plants sense temperature and other abiotic factors. 

Bacteria: Plants sense bacteria and other biotic factors. 

How plants respond to environmental stimuli

Plants respond to stimuli by producing chemical and hormonal signals that affect how they grow, adapt, and reproduce. These responses can include: Genetic changes, Epigenetic changes, Calcium signaling, and Defense mechanisms against pathogens. 

How plants sense their environment

Plants sense their environment through their epidermis, which contains cells that are often covered with a waxy coat. 

A very interesting thing is , the plants also have feelings 🤔 .
