    Do you believe plants can talk with each other? Modern research has found something amazing.

    When a plant gets attacked by insects, the plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps(黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants.

    People can't hear these sounds; but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. 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. The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi(真菌). It links the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other.

    All in all, the discovery is a great thing.
