A plant is a regrowing natural resource. In Dwarf Fortress, they can be separated into three categories, all of which have different properties and uses. In the context of the game, they also include fungi (such as plump helmets, dimple cups, and tower-caps), all of which are functionally identical to plants.

Not the inhaling type.
