- emphasized how plastic and adaptable plants are in their environment. Write an essay touching on this concept. The first paragraph should be broad and discuss why plants must be more adaptable to their environment compared to other organisms, such as animals. Discuss if adaptation is or is not genetically determined and/or heritable. The second paragraph should provide a specific examples of how plants have adapted to stress.
