a objects that can not move with out a type of force
The definition above "objects that can not move without a type of force" is incorrect.
Macquarie Dictionary states: 1. to give life to; make alive 2. to make lively, 3. to encourage 4. to move to action (ie He was animated by religious faith.) 5. Alive or possessing life. Even the definition 'to move to action' does not really cover an object being, or not being able to move with out having force applied to it. Motivate would be a good synonym to the 'move to action' defination. The Latin root of animate is 'animus' which means alive or spirit. If a single sentence definition is required it would be more accurate to define animate as: "an object that is alive"

Are plants animated?
Yes they are. Depending on your interpretation of animate will affect to what extent you believe they are, but they definitely are animate. The dictionary definition will tell you something like 'partaking of or showing signs of life', which - undeniably - plants do. If you look at the etymology of the word, animate comes from the Greek word 'anima' meaning psuche, or in modern English - soul. An animate object is one which has a soul, and if you follow Aristotle's reasoning in this sector (which you should as he coined the term) then all living things are ensouled (or animate) including human beings, animals and even plants (although there is a hierarchy within psuche and not all souls are the same). Anyway, point is: whether you believe plants have souls or not aside, they are alive, and so must be animate. Mike
