There is something not quite right in the plant tag. The plant is defined as "Used for any type of inanimate plant" in the Wiki page but flora_fauna is implicated to this tag. Which one is it?

Also, should we imply tree and grass to plants?

All flora-fauna are plants, but not all plants are flora-fauna. Being a flora-fauna opens up a whole new level of existence for plants, including movement beyond blooming or trapping a fly. Their non-flora-fauna counterparts remain largely inanimate. Besides, there are other instances of inanimate objects being given anthropomorphic features and abilities.

Though I do agree with implicating tree and grass to plant.

Whoops, that one was my fault. That was written before the implication was made when we were trying to maintain that flora_fauna shouldn't be tagged plant, which obviously created a lot of work to repeatedly clean up.

By the way, the phrase "flora fauna" essentially just means "plant animal". :3

I find it odd that they are referred to as inanimate. Plants are alive. Isn't there some better word or description that we could come up with?

Maybe I'm being nitpicky.

"Sessile". In botany and zoology it means "rooted or permanently attached to a surface". Used to describe sea sponges, barnacles, coral, and plants. Unlike "inanimate", it doesn't imply that the organisms do not or cannot move-- Either on their own or due to interactions with their environment.

Ah yes. I've heard that word, but I had forgotten it.
