Is a sponge in your kitchen sink sentient because it absorbs water on contact, or absorbs heatwaves from a light source? The answer is no. In order for an object to be sentient it must possess a nervous system comprised of complex myriads of nerve cells axons and dendrites in order to transmit chemical and electrical signals to a brain. Within the brain is where the sense of self and consciousness forms. Plants cannot fall into the category of sentient for this reason.
