The article is quite specifically about plants, not humans.
That said, since you have expressed some concern, the article shows that cells do not not always follow an inflexible direction of development and there is conclusive evidence that what science and scientists had long thought of as impossible is actually live right now but that revelation has left them guessing about how it happened.
Who knows...with so many humans now identifying as something other than what they really are, maybe they will identify and live as cabbages and we can have a greener world.

Ron, are you suggesting that subtly implying that the evolution of humanity's application of sex and gender roles is wrong should be acceptable? That is a bad joke, if so.

A good word, and I did consider it, as it easily fits your posts in this thread, but subtlety diminished with your post progression even as you strayed farther from the thread topic itself, so it seemed clear that harm was explicitly intended, making invidious the more definitively accurate word..Bertrand Russell: 'Men are born ignorant, not stupid.
