Defensive Plants - Plant Protections

Plants have developed an array of chemical, mechanical and mimicry methods to fight off predators, meaning that they are not as defenceless as they seem.

Mechanical defences include spines and umbrella shaped canopies.

Chemical defences like the toxic chemicals released by stinging nettles.

Some plants mimic others and just pretend to have defences.
