It's Wrong!
Plants secrete gums to heal the damaged parts of the plants. Gums act as a protective barrier that seals off wounds and prevents further damage or infection. They help in the process of tissue repair and regeneration, allowing the plant to recover from injuries or external stressors. This secretion of gums is a defense mechanism employed by plants to ensure their survival and maintain their overall health and integrity.
