Some forms of vegetation in PNF-404 are actually helpful or obstructive to the [[leader]]s and their Pikmin, and serve as important gameplay mechanics – some must be interacted with to complete the game.

{{icon|Pellet Posy}} '''[[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]]''' have a single pellet on top of their stem. When the plant is taken down, it releases the pellet inside, which can be brought to an [[Onion]].

There are forms of vegetation that are not given a name or any sort of importance inside the games themselves. However, their species can still be known by examining how they look and act, compared to plants and fungi in the real world. Some vegetation, however, cannot be identified at all, either because they do not resemble any real world plant, or because the resemblances are too weak to reach conclusive proof. The names given on this list are the real world names.

===Peltate leaf===
Several large flat leaves appear in the background of the [[Perplexing Pool]], serving no other purpose than decoration. The leaves' stems connect at the bottom, characteristic mainly to tropical plants. Its species name would probably be ''{{w|Leaf shape|peltata}}''.

{{clean|Are they the same thing then or not?}}
There is an unknown red object that appears in all ''Pikmin'' games. It is either a red-leafed plant or a red mushroom. It is quite common in ''Pikmin'', appearing in every area. In ''Pikmin 2'', this same red-leafed plant only appears in the [[Valley of Repose]] near the landing area, covered in snow. In ''Pikmin 3'' the plant becomes a trio of mushrooms found only in the [[Tropical Wilds]]; they make a unique sound when disturbed. The red-leafed plant from ''Pikmin'' and ''Pikmin 2'' could be based on heuchera micrantha whereas the new mushroom's look could be based on ''{{w|mycena haematopus}}''.

===Succulents===
===Succulent===
The [[Formidable Oak]] in ''Pikmin 3'' features numerous different variants of cacti and succulent plants. These include ''{{w|haworthia attenuata}}'', stout {{w|Barrel cactus|barrel cacti}}, {{w|aeonium}} succulents, and large columnar cacti in the distance. The Formidable Oak also houses some more ambiguous but unique flora, including inflorescences of pink wildflowers, sprouts and tufts of dry grasses, and even some tiny lichens in the center of the arena area. Most of these succulents and some of the flower types are also used in the [[Thirsty Desert]] and [[Thirsty Desert Remix|its remix]] in [[Mission Mode]].

===Trees===
===Tree===
{{image}}
{{image}}
Nearly every area of every game (excluding [[The Forest Navel]]) contains trees, though most of the time they go unnoticed. Their main effect on gameplay is providing dynamic shadows that make the look of the environment more realistic and interesting. Trees can be seen in most of the backgrounds of the first two games' [[area]]s, but the textures depicting them are simple and looped, and often obscured by distance fog. In ''[[Pikmin 3]]'', the entire skybox is rendered, and one can see full trees surrounding the area using the [[KopPad#Camera|KopPad's camera]].

===Vine===
An ivy-like vine appears in the [[Tropical Forest]] in ''Pikmin 3'', creeping along the edge of a raised platform and wall until twirling into a curled slide. Leaders and Pikmin can slide down this vine to get from the raised platform to the lower ground quickly, but not vice versa. Several vines are also used for scenery.
