Plants have no brain, no mind, no thoughts or feelings; they feel no pain, no fear, no sorrow. Animals have all those things. That is why Buddhists feel more empathy toward animals than toward plants. The human spirit, in the Hindu or Buddhist tradition, can be reincarnated as an animal, but not as a plant.
The property exhibited by animals, but not plants is called sentience or self awareness.
Inteerestingy some plants such as garlic and onions are raely eaten by Buddhists as they may inflame the spirit (?). As another look at reasons not to eat plants - Jains do not eat plants with the potential to grow (seeds, bulbsm etc.) as this would change the course of the plants impact on life in general.
