Question 4

What is the correct view of the statement "a tree does not move"?

The right answer is the one marked above.

A tree moves, because its leaves, flowers and shoot tips move. In movement, either the organism's entire body or a part of the body moves.

Swaying caused by the wind is not movement made by the organism itself, so “a tree moves only when the wind blows” is not the answer. Unicellular organisms have no muscles either, and they move by cilia and flagella.
