Plants have various defense mechanisms to protect themselves from predators. Some common defense strategies include the production of toxic compounds, thorns, spines, and hairs to deter herbivores. Plants can also release chemicals to attract predators of the herbivores or produce compounds that make them taste bad. Additionally, some plants have evolved physical adaptations like mimicry or camouflage to avoid being eaten by predators.
