Plant (disambiguation)

A plant is a living organism that generally does not move and absorbs nutrients from its surroundings. Typically it has been placed deliberately rather than naturally; it has been planted.

Plants, in contrast with animals, do not move. Therefore, to plant is to put something in the ground expecting it will not move, such as to plant a flag.
