What is the definition of death? Is there no fundamental difference between the death of plants and animals?

According to the traditional concept, the permanent cessation of human heartbeat and breathing is regarded as a sign of death, which can be divided into dying period, clinical death period and biological death period. At present, the accepted medical concept takes brain stem death as the standard of brain death, that is, "clinical death period". Once brain death occurs, it means a person's substantive and functional death, which is the so-called "incurable" (modern medicine can't treat it).

The above is mainly aimed at humans, and of course it can also be compared with animals. There is no relevant definition of plant death at present. It can generally be considered that the end of plant life activities, that is, on the basis of metabolic activities such as water, mineral nutrition, photosynthesis and respiration, indicates that the growth and development processes such as seed germination, branching, long leaves, flowering and fruiting of plants are no longer carried out. If you have any questions, please ask.
