Most of us believe plants live and also make their own food but how they see the world. Plants do not have eyes but are sensitive to sunlight. The leaves of the plant make food with sunlight, water, carbon dioxide and nutrients from the soil. The green pigment in the leaves called chlorophyll detects sunlight and absorbs it to make food. Even though they do not have eyes, flowers are able to detect the light. One such flower is the sunflower, which faces the sun by detecting its direction of light. Sunflowers are called heliotropes because they move towards the sun. Plants do not have brains like human beings that tell them about the intensity or the source of light. They have sensors that make us believe that plants have eyes, but they instead have special light receptors, which absorb light for growth and nutrition.
