What are some adaptations of the sensitive plant?

The sensitive plant has many adaptations and one of the best sources available to learn all about this plant is, "The Sensitive Plant Book Growing the Mimosa," The sensitive plants adaptations include the its ability to close its leaves and lower its branches when, touched, or if the plant is placed in the dark, cold or a very hot environment. Some scientists think that the sensitive plant's movements may be an adaptation that allows the plant to protects itself from animals that attempt to eat it. An insect or other animal may touch the sensitive plant and the plant will begin to close its leaves and lower its leafstalks. When the sensitive plant moves, this may scare the animal, causing the animal to move away from it and go on to a less active plant. Another adaptation could be that when the sensitive plant closes its leaves and lowers its leafstalks, its thorns become more exposed. Showing off its thorns, may be another way for the sensitive plant to warn plant eating animals to stay away. Perhaps closing its leaves at night is an adaptation to help prevent water loss from the plant. No one knows for sure why the sensitive plant moves.
