Yes, I believe it.
Plants do everything in their natural way like animanls, except moving by themselves. There are some religious issues behind this non-moving.

I'm assuming that you are asking if plants can be considered a life form.

Yes, they are "alive", just are insects, animals, even virus' and bacteria. Anything that has the capability to reproduce is considered a life form.

And it's very true that any plant that is cared for on a regular basis will react by growing faster, larger, or produce more flowers/fruit than those that are neglected.

Yes they have life. Plants may not exhibit locomotion like animals but they do respond to stimuli. Eg phototropism - leaves turning towards sunlight, sunflower turning towards the sun - Geotrophism - roots growing towards the soil. Touch - me - not plant closing its leaves when touched(mimosa pudica). The phenomenon is called nictinasti. Flowers blooming at night, leaves of rain tree closing at night, creepers coiling round a tree for support. The growth of a plant , it reproduction through seeds, sperms , cuttings etc indicate existence of life in them. It is also stated that plants respond to music, they grow when when good music is played to them.They can recognise a good touch and a bad touch. Experiments have proved the same

Of course plants are living. Seriously hold a live flower in your hand or go hug a tree. You can feel the lifeforce running through it. It is an amazing feeling to hug a tree and feel the pulsating life of it. It truly is a magical moment.

Umm...if you mean--are plants living things? Yes, they are living because they are composed of cells. They grow and reproduce.
But if you mean--do they have a spirit or soul? No, they do not have a brain, or even nerves for that matter. They can't feel or hear or see like "living" things do.

I believe, plants are living thing. The great Indian scientist, Dr. J.C. Bose proved it.

The tree is covered with a lot of leaves.
The leaves rustle, speak, argue among themselves.
But shouldn't they know that the roots feed them?
Physicists behave as leaves.
They rustle, speak, argue among themselves.
But they forget the roots of science, namely that we build the base
of a science on abstract ideas.
The base of the classical mechanics is constructed on abstract
separate absolute space and abstract separate absolute time of Newton.
The base of thermodynamics is constructed on the abstract
ideal gas theory.
The base of the theory of radiation is constructed on
the abstract black body theory.
The base of SRT is constructed on the abstract theory
of four-dimensional space theory.
On this abstract base, physicists build a concrete building of
science and are surprised when they discover paradoxes in it.
But in nature there are no paradoxes observed.
Something is not in order with logical thinking.
It is necessary to stop, look back and
to reconsider the abstract base of science.
Maybe the abstract ideas are not abstract ones.
But everyone is in a hurry to try to understand reality,
and they create new abstraction. It is a way to “mad infinity”.
Therefore we live in the world of abstraction, of paradoxes,
in the Orwell,s world.
How to break off this circuit of abstraction?
How we can understand the Existence logically?

Yes, I do now. They have to be smarter than this question. I hope you mean planets. If you do, Yes, but not in our galaxy. I just looked at your other questions, and see you are interested in astronomy. But why did you post it under Botany?

life? depends on how you mean it. if you talk to plants and treat them well, they flourish, same as a person
