They don't, but they also kinda do .... They communicate with each other and with animals, they have different chemical reactions to different stimuli, etc. just because they're different from you doesn't mean they don't suffer. Probably less than factory animals, that's for sure, ofc. But not everyone that eats meat supports that shit.

The plants communicate for survival because of natural selection, not because they are avoiding pain
