"Conscious" means being aware of oneself, one's surroundings, thoughts, or feelings, being awake, or acting with deliberate intention, like a "conscious effort". It refers to subjective experience and internal knowledge, differentiating from unconsciousness (sleep, coma).
It’s a spectrum, sure. But the spectrum is between ants and humans; not animals and plants.
