that's why I have a poll going, others may think otherwise. 

one other person thinks he's a biological hybrid along with me

Looking as you can use most if not all poop related items without a sanity penalty to trigger a bloom i think it's safe to say wormwood is a plant (what would make him an animal??)

[Cheggf]

He's a magical plant. It's like how venus flytraps are still just plants, despite having "mouths" that snap shut when insects crawl into them. Just a lot bigger of a jump, and with magic.

P.S. What would happen if the lunar magic that grants Wormwood life was dispelled? Would he just die and become a normal plant again?

he eats, he consumes oxygen (allegedly), no indication to photosynthesis based on everything.

he may have grown from a plant and uses dung as fertiliser, but everything else follows consumer organism traits. 

and that's why I'm holding this poll

Venus flytraps eat insects and I think frogs. I also believe all plants respirate oxygen, or maybe it's carbon dioxide. I'm not a plant doctor.

Fertilizer is plant food :steamhappy:

Wormwood best plant friend. Friend of plants and non plants.

Poop smells good rub on face feel good happy plant.

Plant friends.

[BezKa]

I thought the options would be between the plant and the gem.

But yeah, he's a plant.

Ears, Eyes, Nose, Mouth, No Roots, Eats Food

They respirate both. Through photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is converted into oxygen. However, without any sun they would be respiring oxygen into carbon dioxide. Obviously wouldn't take them very long to die without sun, though.

He can be anything, but not a plant.

Maybe magical plant...

The only thing he has of those that plants don't is eyes. But plants know where the sun is, and that's kind of like seeing since they're reacting to the light.

Yeah, plants use photosynthesis to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose, which they then eat. Not all plants photosynthesize however, with a notable example being the pitcher plant, which is a carnivorous plant.

I thought carnivorous plants also used photosynthesis, but their hetetrophic traits are just way to supplement other nutrients/energy at the same time.

...the bigger question is: if he is a plant, why can't Wurt eat him?!

You are overstating what “eating” is for carnivorous plants, they aren’t getting energy from what they dissolve, just nutrients.

 

All plants need to photosynthesize. Mushrooms are not plants, and do not photosynthesize.

You are correct. I unfortunately didn't correctly pick a trustworthy source for my information and was misinformed of how pitcher plants actually work. I apologize and thank you for pointing this out.

What does this have to do with the post though?

Just bring it up in case you mentioned it, they are treated as plants in game, including Wormwood gaining a sanity boost from planters.
