Makahiya leaves curl when they are touched or disturbed as a defense mechanism against predators. This reaction is triggered by the plant's ability to rapidly move water from certain cells, causing the leaflets to fold inward and appear wilted.
Makahiya leaves are sensitive because they have specialized cells on the leaf surface called pulvini, which respond to touch or physical stimulus. When these cells are touched, they rapidly lose water, causing the leaflets to close in a defensive response to protect themselves from potential harm or herbivores.
Makahiya, also known as the sensitive plant, is a tropical plant that reacts to touch by folding its leaves. It is known for its rapid leaf movements in response to stimuli like touch, heat, or wind. The plant's small pink flower clusters and thorn-covered stems are also distinctive characteristics.
The hard covering of a seed is called the seed coat. It serves to protect the seed from damage, dehydration, and pathogens.
