It is an animal that looks like a plant that imitates a carnivorous plant that feeds like an animal (Ooph!). The Venus flytrap, despite being a plant, feeds on other organisms — and some of its parts move faster than its animal prey. Corals are not plants. They are animals. Many groups of animals do not move, and live attached like plants to a surface for most of their life, including sponges, corals, mussels and barnacles. Seaweeds are not plants. They are protists — organisms that belong to the kingdom that includes protozoans, bacteria, and single-celled algae and fungi. Seaweeds may have been the ancestors of all animals and plants. Protists are able to use an animal-like behaviour (eating other organisms) to acquire plant-like traits (photosynthesis). Mushrooms are not plants. They are fungi and there is a huge variety. Other fungi are rust, yeasts (used to make bread, and beer), and slime moulds (like those that grow on old fruits). Mushrooms are often treated like vegetables, but fungi are actually closer to the category of animals than plants. Like plants, they do not move, but they cannot use the energy of sunlight directly through photosynthesis. Their source of energy are other organisms. But instead of “hunting” them, they grow on top of them (soil, trees, human feet), or on top of decaying dead organisms (dead bark, dead animals, your bread). Eating a mushroom is much closer to eating a hamburger than other veggie substitutes. Algae are aquatic single-celled life forms that appear as a kind of growth, or slime, on top of bodies of water. They look like plants without roots, or leaves, but they are not. Nori seaweed (used to wrap sushi), red dulse (a snack in Ireland and Iceland that some claim tastes like bacon when fried), kelp (which is a key ingredient in many Asian meals) — all of them are unrelated to plants. The fronds of kelp have three parts: a stem, leaf-like blades and gas-filled spheres, or bladders, which float the kelp toward the surface where the penetration of sunlight is at its highest. The fronds are anchored to the seafloor by a part of the algae known as the 'holdfast', which is a tangled ball but has no roots, as is the case with the roots of flowering plants. And, unlike flowering plants that absorb nutrients through their roots, kelp absorbs nutrients through all parts of its tissues. Kelp reproduces both sexually and asexually.

They are green freshwater organisms with a red eyespot and a tail, found in still waters where they may bloom in numbers sufficient to colour the surface of ponds. Euglena is a plant because it is able to produce its own food by photosynthesis when light is available. But, like an animal, it moves and feeds on food, whenever it needs to feed, by engulfing the food with its body when sunlight is not available. It’s eyespot is light sensitive and can be compared to our eyes. So far, scientists have refused to put it into any category. As scientists become better at their jobs, they will find that all beings are the same. We knew decades ago — thanks to The Secret Life of Plants by Peter Tompkins — that trees hear, have emotions, and react to negativity. One day, with more sophisticated technology, we will realise that they are us — animals — who simply live in a different way.
