    Yes plant cells are all firmly attached to one another, so having cells migrate around the body and spread everywhere is a lot more difficult than in animals.

    I mean we have this vascular system with highly nutrient dense liquid flowing around full of living cells. Isn't plants just water and nutrients?

    Sorry to say that I did look at ResearchGate before posting and did find this. However, this is a "[Request full-text](https://help.researchgate.net/research-and-publications/discovering-and-requesting-research)" entry, meaning you need an account to message the authors about why you would like to access it and hope they accept your request. I still appreciate you trying to help.
