Are they at equilibrium?
I am pretty much at equilibrium with the weeds in my yard but it was a tough two years ...
As for motion, if you don't believe plants can move, have you never seen a dandelion seed pod float in the wind headed straight for your yard?
Yes, roots reach for water and nutrients, leaves for the sun -- tumbleweed (approach it carefully!) moves with the wind and so do your seed pods. Yet those motions are not independent.
