Plants do respire, but their respiration process is different from that of animals. While they perform photosynthesis during the day to convert sunlight into energy, they also undergo respiration continuously, consuming oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. This process allows them to break down stored sugars for energy, especially in the absence of light. Therefore, it's a misconception to say that plants do not respire; they simply balance respiration and photosynthesis differently based on light availability.
