Plants communicate underground primarily through a network of mycorrhizal fungi, which connects individual plants and allows them to transfer water, nutrients, and other essential minerals. This mycorrhizal network enables trees to share resources and send distress signals to each other, particularly when they are unhealthy or threatened, facilitating the survival of connected trees. Additionally, electrical signals can transmit messages between plants, suggesting they can communicate about threats and other environmental factors through both chemical and electrical means [1][2][5].
