Plant intelligence proposes that plants possess complex capacities for perception, communication, and adaptation to their environment, despite lacking a central nervous system. Through chemical and physiological networks, plants are able to respond to environmental stimuli, cooperate with other organisms, and optimize their survival. This perspective has contributed to rethinking the understanding of ecosystems and their role in urban systems.
