Could plants be either masculine or feminine, not neuter?
Even plants, botany says, have sexes: male or female. No doubt, we often come across the the terms 'plant sexuality.' Based on this scientific fact, is it reasonable for us to conclude that plants are either masculine or feminine, not neuter? Please shed light on this matter.
Top answer
Don't try to apply physical sexual characteristics to grammatical gender. In English grammar, plants are neither feminine nor masculine, the same as almost every other inanimate object.
