(1.5 pts) THE HIDDEN INTELLIGENCE OF PLANTS: Nature's Secret Network! Did you know that plants can "talk" to each other? Scientists have discovered an incredible underground communication system nicknamed the "Wood Wide Web"! Through fungal networks connecting their roots, trees and plants share nutrients, send warning signals, and even support their offspring. These remarkable plants can recognize their relatives, remember past events, and make decisions. When attacked by insects, trees release chemical signals to warn neighboring plants, which then begin producing defensive compounds. Some plants can even count and solve simple mathematical problems to manage their resources! Mother trees act as the hubs of forest communities, sharing resources with younger trees and favoring their own seedlings. During droughts, they send carbon and water to struggling saplings through the fungal network. This complex social network helps maintain forest health and resilience. 23. Plants can identify their family members. 24. Trees communicate only through leaves. 25. Plants can perform basic mathematics. 26. Mother trees ignore their own seedlings. 27.
