Responsiveness: Organisms respond to changes in their immediate environment; this property is also called irritability. You move your hand away from a hot stove; your dog barks at approaching strangers; fish are scared by loud noises; and amoebas glide toward potential prey.
Even when plants have reached what we regard as their full, mature size, they continue to expand and develop new leaves, flowers, fruit and shoots. Unlike animals, plants cannot move when the environment changes. They are at the mercy of the climate and the gardener because they are rooted in place. Even though it appears that many plants, especially larger ones, are quite tolerant of change, they sometimes do not show adverse effects until long after the event.
