Why can some plants walk?

A botanist was on a scientific expedition in a deserted place in the western United States. When he left, in order to find this place next time, he chose a special plant and marked it. However, a few months later, when he returned there, he found that the plant was missing! Careful scientists carefully observed the surrounding situation and found a shallow trace on the ground. Following this trace, he walked a long way, and finally found the marked plant by a small lake. Can plants walk by themselves?

It turns out that this plant can grow in one place where there is enough water. In case of drought and water shortage, its roots will leave the soil and the plant body will roll into a ball. When the wind blows, it will move with the wind. When it comes to water, it will stop and insert the roots into the soil to get water and nutrients and start its new life. Because this plant seems to be able to sense its surroundings and wake up from deep sleep, it is called wake up tree.

There is also a kind of desert plant called Tumbleweed, it can also roll the roots together in the drought, rolling with the wind, from a distance, like a small ball rolling rapidly. Where there is water, it will take root and grow again.
