A taxis (plural taxes, pronounced ˈtæksiːz) is an innate behavioral response by an organism to a directional stimulus or gradient of stimulus intensity. A taxis differs from a tropism (turning response, often growth towards or away from a stimulus) in that the organism has motility and demonstrates guided movement towards or away from the stimulus source [1][2]. It is sometimes distinguished from a kinesis, a non-directional change in activity in response to a stimulus that results in the migration toward or away from a stimulus.

as for cabbages being sentient, most of the time i wouldn't know, the rest of the time i'm non-verbal, so if i did know, i couldn't tell you.

i guess i lack the necessary presumption for assumption, this time...

didn't 'the secret life of plants' scientifically show us plants are sentient, anyway?

i happen to dig cabbage, a lot.

(and muddy work it can be, too)
