Er, no. Plants are alive but not, in a philosophical sense, living. When an animal dies, it continues to live through the same micro-processes that plants do, but no-one would say it is still living.

But you wouldn't say that a dead plant is still living either.

The substance of an animal is its life.
What does that actually mean?
