Abstract

Plants, once perceived as silent and passive organisms, are now emerging as active, communicative beings deeply attuned to their environment. This review explores the intricate and often invisible ways in which plants communicate—not through speech, but via chemical signals, electrical impulses, airborne scents, and subterranean fungal networks. Through examples such as herbivore-induced volatile emissions that summon predatory allies, and underground mycorrhizal exchanges that foster resource sharing and immune priming, this paper reveals a complex language of survival and cooperation. Understanding these silent conversations not only challenges our conventional notions of intelligence and behavior but also presents transformative opportunities in sustainable agriculture, ecological restoration, and plant biotechnology. By listening more closely to the plant world, we may uncover nature’s most ancient and subtle wisdom.
