Best Answer

No they do not have muscle cells, because they do not need to move.

Even in the rare case of a plant that can move to some extent, such as a Venus fly-trap that can close its leaves over an insect, that motion is not done by means of muscles, but by other means.

No you would expect to find a muscle tissue in a plant because muscle tissue is made up of cells that contract when they receive signal from the brain.
