You probably know plant as a noun.
“My basil plant needs more sunlight.”

But it has other meanings.

Plant = factory
“The company is opening a new production plant.”

To plant = to put something in the ground
“We planted three trees last weekend.”

To plant = to place something secretly
“Someone planted evidence in his office.”

💡 Quick tip:
If someone mentions a plant in a business meeting, they might be talking about a factory, not a flower!
