Plant
Plant
(Creature)
Plants are creatures composed of vegetable matter. Plant creatures are known in many forms, including green plants living above ground, presumably undergoing photosynthesis as part of their anatomy. However, plant creatures are also found deep underground where the sun's light never reaches; such creatures owe their heritage more to fungi. 'Plant' can also refer to normal, mundane, non-animated entities, such as humble trees and flowers.1[citation needed] The study of plants is called botany.2
Awakened plants

Plants can be awakened—granted humanoid sentience and intelligence—through magic or other supernatural means. Such intelligence goes beyond mere animation to grant the plant a personality and free will.3

In Pathfinder First Edition mechanics, creatures comprised of or related to fungi are plants or have the fungal creature template. In Pathfinder Second Edition, they are creatures with the fungus trait.
