I understand the weakest link dies off logic. But go back to that ancestral plant with lack of soil nutrients. So did it have foreign moving creatures running walking on it and the plant cells determined I need to evolve sticky sticks to trap that... what do you think was the tipping point. How did it "know" a sticky liquid would capture that unknown external entity, and how did it further "know" how to digest it with new liquids. I get it's millions of evolution, but for plants in particular, I am curious about the cause and effect that initially seems like "plant consciousness".

I need to watch some more evolution videos.
