Do you feel that palms are true-trees? Explain.
Palm Trees–Not Trees After All !
I once heard, many years ago, that a palm tree is not really a
tree; it’s a grass! I had never investigated the truth of that
statement. recently admiring the many tall palms towering high over
houses and even over other trees, made me want to find out whether
it is, in fact, true that palm trees are actually grasses.
Even though palms seem like trees, with their height, their leaves, and what seems to be a trunk, it turns out that those traits are not enough to make them trees.
In fact, there are important differences between actual trees and palms. For example, unlike trees, palms have no bark or woody tissue. Palm trees do not produce a cambium layer–that part of a tree between the bark and the interior, that produces new growth each year. A horizontal cut through a tree’s trunk would show growth rings; a cut across a palm’s would not. A palm’s ‘trunk’ is simply a mass of spongy, hardened material that expands as the palm grows taller.
And palm trees lack a key ability trees have–to resist death from disease or injury. A tree can ‘seal off’ a damaged portion, entirely separating it from the tree’s healthy part, so that the tree can continue to live and grow.
In addition, conventional trees experience a secondary growth phase, when functioning tissues are replaced with younger cells. But palm trees do not undergo such a process of cell replacement. Instead, a palm tree’s individual cells endure for the plant’s entire lifespan of 100-740 years.
Palm trees, of which more than 2,000 species exist, are grouped
botanically with grasses, sedges, bamboo, grains, lilies, onions,
and orchids. In fact, as it turns out, a palm tree has more in
common genetically with turf grass or corn than it has with an oak
tree! A palm tree is truly a grass giant!
Palm trees are indeed amazing. But, as it turns out, they’re
amazing grasses, not amazing trees.

Animals clearly feel, and most, let's say all vertebrates, are aware of their surroundings and feel pain. They have as much right to live as we do. Furthermore, we are the custodians of these animals in many cases, and their well-being is our responsibility. Most testing is pointless status quo that keeps grant money coming in but...
