Plants talk? As in rustle with movement or communicate through sound? Can plants hear? The world is amazing, I’ll be on Wikipedia for a few.

There are high frequency sounds that they emit when they experience certain stimuli, for example when not having enough water or leaves being torn. As far as I know some other plants or insects might be evolutionarily tuned to recognize those sounds and react to them. So yes, in a way plants can talk.
