The answer is BURHS.
The crossword clue "Prickly plants" refers to BURS. Burs (or burrs) are types of plants or plant parts that produce small, round, and spiky seed pods or fruits. These burs are known for their prickly texture, which allows them to stick to animal fur, clothing, or other materials as a means of spreading seeds and aiding in the plant's natural dispersion. Common plants that produce burs include burdock, cocklebur, and certain types of grass. The hook-like structure on burs inspired the invention of Velcro, which uses a similar mechanism to "cling" to fabric surfaces. In crossword puzzles, BUR or BURS is often used as an answer for clues involving "prickly plants" or "plants with hooks," due to their small size and distinct barbed texture.
