There are several pretty clear ways that place are different from non-living things:
1. Plants grow through cellular reproduction.
2. Plants take in food and expel waste (metabolism)
3. Plants reproduce.
4. Plants respond to stimuli
Non-living things (inanimate objects) do none of those things.
This list can go on, but those are some of the basics.
