    Thats a pretty convincing argument and I see no alternative but to accept that yes, we are plants.

    plants give us oxygen to live knowing that one day we'll die and return to the soil for them to continue growing

    they farm us

    At present most biologists divide the living world into 5 kingdoms, namely:
    • bacteria
    • protists
    • fungi
    • plants
    • animal

    we would class as animal on that under because:

    At present most biologists divide the living world into 5 kingdoms, namely:
    • eat organic material (plants or other animals)
    • move to find food
    • take the food into their bodies and then digest it
    • and most reproduce by fertilizing eggs by sperm

    but that would further be divided into Vertebrates and Invertebrates (if there is a backbone or not)

    in this division there is
    • Fish
    • Amphibia (frogs and toads)
    • Reptiles (snakes and crocodiles)
    • Birds
    • Mammals

    So mammals is us, well one of the subclasses of mammals anyway as there is
    • Duck billed platypus and the spiny anteater
    • Marsupials (animals like the kangaroo with pouches)
    • True mammals (with a placenta)

    so no, no we aren't plants
