Just as humans and animals compete to win a prize or gain an advantage, there is also competition among plants. This competition is both among its own species, as well as against other types of plants and even animals.

Plants seek the rewards of nutrients, water, sunlight, and territory necessary for survival.

One type of competition is comparing the performance with other plants. The "winner" grows the best. Another type of plant competition is head-to-head against other plants. In this case, the winner squeezes out the others to get the most sunlight or such. The third type of competition is where a plant grows at the expense of another plant.

If there are sufficient ingredients, the plants will compete by their performance for reproductive ability.
