Respuesta :
the students claim is incorrect, this is because plant's don't have pain receptors, so for example,if an animal were to eat a strawberry, the plant would not be harmed, nor would the plant be harmed if a leaf or bud was removed, it would simply develop new growth. And the plants survival actually increases because most animals will eat the seed with the fruit, and when animals defecate , the seeds have a natural fertilizer.
hope this helps, if it doesn't pls tell me what you think I should change!
