We are all familiar with the significance of plants for our lives, as well as the lives of all living beings and the world as a whole. Although the importance of plants at that macro level is widely known, their importance at the micro level, within the domain of language, has not been sufficiently explored. This paper investigates the intricate relationship between plants and language through the lens of metaphor. The research delves into the realm of conceptual metaphors, uncovering their fundamental role in shaping human perception, thought processes, and communication. The focus then shifts to the importance of plants in language, demonstrating how they not only contribute to botanical vocabulary but also serve as powerful sources of metaphorical expressions. Symbolic and cultural beliefs associated with plants are examined to highlight their historical role in nonverbal communication. The research further extends to the use of plants as pejoratives, within historical and literary contexts. Lastly, an empirical survey offers insights into the perception of the connection between plants and metaphors.
