39. How Groot Could Actually Exist
- Company: Marvel Comics
- Real Science: Botany
- Possible To Recreate: Maybe
Groot is a sentient tree that is capable of moving around and speaking, though his vocabulary is quite limited. He also has super strength and can grow back entirely upon destruction. He simply has to be reborn rather than go back to the same size he was upon his passing. Is Groot possible, however? Funny enough, it’s actually possible to do a lot of the things connected to Groot. Plants on Earth can move and even attack.
Venus Fly Traps, as well as other plants similar to them, can attack passers-by. Plants also move, most of the time due to an attempt to get closer to the sun. The problem is that none can move freely like Groot. However, Groot is from an alien species known as “Flora Colossus.” There is proof that plants on other planets likely will not operate exactly like those from Earth. Therefore, a Groot figure might very well be possible on another planet.
