How to use "Vegetative" in context?
When we talk about "vegetative," what mostly comes to mind is an inactive person - a comma - who is conserving energy or fluids. In animal behavior, we sometimes use "vegetative" to refer to the process of going without food or water as a survival strategy. But this definition is often too narrow. "Vegetative" can also refer to behaviors that maintain an animal in its current environment. For instance, when a hawk is perched on a high perch, the bird is technically "vegetative" - it's not moving, but it's still alive.
