Movement is often considered a common evidence of life because it reflects the dynamic nature of living organisms. Many living entities exhibit purposeful and controlled motion, whether it’s the locomotion of animals, growth in plants, or the cellular activities within microorganisms. Movement is intricately tied to an organism’s ability to respond to stimuli, seek resources, and navigate its environment for survival and reproduction. While not all living organisms move in a visible way, internal movements such as cytoplasmic streaming in cells or the opening and closing of plant stomata still demonstrate the active processes and vitality characteristic of living systems.
