What are the categories of Vanaspatikaya
In Jainism, Vanaspatikaya is of two categories:
- Pratyeka Vanaspati
- A plant body in which one soul resides in one body. - Each plant is an individual living being.
- Sadharana Vanaspati
- A plant body in which many souls share one body. - It is called common-bodied or multi-soul plant life.
So, the main categories are:
- Pratyeka Vanaspati
- Sadharana Vanaspati
If you want, I can also explain the subtypes of Vanaspatikaya in a simple Jain classification.
