Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water.Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”. The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi （真菌）.It links the roots of different plants to each other.

Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a firewall to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web.Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other.
