When plants move, there are no muscles involved. #shorts #science #SciShow

The video explores how plants move without muscles or brains, using external stimuli like gravity, light, or touch. It highlights the Cape Sundew plant's unique insect-trapping mechanism, which involves increasing cell pressure to curl its leaves. This plant-inspired mechanism can be applied to soft robotics, such as designing prosthetic hands that can gently grasp fragile objects.
