Contact inhibition prevents tumor formation in humans. Plants can develop tumors, but they usually remain localized and do not spread like cancer in animals.
Which phenomenon inhibits the formation of tumors in the human body? Can plants also develop tumors? Explain.

Contact inhibition is the phenomenon that prevents tumor formation in humans by stopping cell division when cells touch each other. In cancer, this control is lost. Plants can also develop tumors, such as galls, due to uncontrolled growth. However, plant tumors usually remain localized and do not spread like malignant tumors in animals.
