  How much “exploring” do sedentary lifeforms (plants, mussels, etc) really get up to?

    Bivalves such as mussels are aware of many stimuli but are generally incapable of safely relocating making them one of the incredibly few exceptions to the rule.

    I would generally assume any alien lifeform we encounter would be closer to humans than bivalves.
