In Jain philosophy, Vanaspatikāya means plant-bodied one-sensed जीव.

Subtypes of Vanaspatikāya

Vanaspatikāya is mainly divided into two subtypes:

1. Pratyeka Vanaspati

- A plant body where one soul inhabits one body. - Examples: many ordinary trees, plants, herbs, etc. - Each plant has its own separate life.

1. Sādhāraṇa Vanaspati

- A plant body where many souls share one body. - This is a special Jain classification. - Such beings are said to have a very large number of souls in one plant body. - Because of this, their violence is considered extremely subtle and serious in Jain ethics.

Simple meaning

• Pratyeka = individual plant life
• Sādhāraṇa = shared plant life

In Jain view

Both are ekendriya jīva because they have only one sense: touch. They possess:

• body
• life
• touch-sense
• power of growth
• respiration
• life-span
• mindless existence like other one-sensed beings

If you want, I can also explain all 6 types of vanaspatikāya in a very simple way.
