Do, all living organisms exhibit locomotion?


The word locomotion is derived from the Latin word loco meaning from a place and motionem meaning motion.

Locomotion is the most important feature of all living beings, (excluding plants) which is the ability to move from one place to another in search of food, shelter, to escape from predators, and of many different reasons.

In multicellular animals, these movements include walking, running, crawling, swimming, climbing, flying, slithering, and so on.

Hence, from the above explanation, we can conclude that all living organisms exhibit locomotion, except the plant kingdom.
