You must have observed huge trees in your own backyard that have been staying in the same place for years, without any explicit signs of movement. Unlike animals, trees cannot move about, eat through the mouth, express emotions and communicate their needs. Plants and animals are as different from each other as a rose is from a rabbit!
Generally, plants, with a few exceptions like the swimming algae, cannot move about from place to place, while animals can move freely. One of the most distinguishing features of plants is that they can make their own food with the help of their green colouring, which is called chlorophyll. On the other hand, animals must rely on plants for their food, or hunt other animals. Animals have a nervous system, which makes them sensitive to touch, heat, cold, pain, and other stimuli. Plants lack such a nervous system. However, as you must have observed, some plants such as the touch-me-not, do fold their leaves when touched. Others sense that a support is near, and twine themselves around it.
The cell structure of plants and animals is different too. Most plants have rigid cell walls and contain cellulose. Animal cells do not have cellulose. The development of animals and plants is different too. While animals stop growing when they reach maturity, plants do not stop growing until they die!
