Plant/Legends



"I need you to gather grasses and plants for it to eat. The greener, the better. Understand?"

- Dass Jennir to H2, the former tending to an injured animal

Plants were a major group of life forms, found on countless worlds across the galaxy. In some worlds, such as Felucia, plants were the dominant life form. Trees were a form of plants. Sentient plants were not very common in the galaxy, with species like the Neti, the Daltarri, the Ergesh, the Orgon, the Pliith and the Revwien being rare examples of plants to have developed sentience.

Biology
Plants were living organisms of the kind exemplified by trees, shrubs, herbs, grasses, ferns, and mosses. They absorbed water and inorganic substances through their roots, and synthesized both nutrients in soil and sunlight. Plants typically grew in a permanent site, but some could move about in search of better light, nutrients or soils. Animal species often found it difficult to communicate with plants, since their entire life was based upon an existence where food was present every day. They lacked many concepts Humans and other animal species found natural. Vegetal species typically possessed passive natural defenses such as burrs.

As plants grew, they went to seed to bear their young, and then slowly decayed to organic matter and fertilized their habitat for subsequent generations.
