Do plants poop?: Get your answers

Regard: Grunge

May be sometimes you asked yourself a question like do plants poop? means do plants have excreta or stool like humans and animals? But you did not care of your question. Now It's a spoon feeding answer to your question. Let's see what biologist say about this!

Answer 1: 

It depends on what exactly you mean by “poop.” If you mean solid waste coming out of a hole at the end of a tube just for poop, well, plants obviously don't do that. But pooping is really just a way for our bodies to pump out stuff they can't use, or that might hurt us. And plants totally do that, too!

Answer 2: 

Plants don't have a digestive system, per se. Your (very good) example of a venus fly trap is the closest they come. Carnivorous plants secrete enzymes that slowly breakdown the bugs they trap. when the enzymes break down the bug to its simplest molecules (mostly nitrogen), those molecules are absorbed by the plant. There can be some gunk left in the plant after a bug is digested. Instead of pooping out the waste, that part of the trap will just wither and die as new traps grow.

Answer 3:

Think about it like this: we absorb nutrients from our food with our intestines. We need to eat and digest the food to get it to our intestines, then we need to get rid of the waste to make room for more food. Plants, on the other hand, essentially have their "intestines" on the outsides of their bodies. So they don't need to "eat" or "poop", they just grow their roots into new areas to absorb more nutrients. Plants can sometimes get close to eating and pooping (carnivorous plants). Also, some Halophytes can excrete salt out of their leaves.
