Why do plants hate math?
Because it gives them square roots!
Why This Joke Works
"Square roots" is a perfect collision of botany and algebra — plants grow roots, and square roots are a fundamental math operation. The implication that a plant would find square roots unnatural (plants prefer their roots organic, presumably) adds a layer of absurd plant-logic.
