>>43133117There's not really a lot to understand with fantastical animal designs. You could make the case that Gogoat's genetic structure bridges the gap at the follicle level, where it generates grass-like fur to obtain glucose for energy when otherwise not eating, or Leafeon simply exaggerating the process into its physical structure for a slew of different reasons, including offense. Zarude comparatively leans further towards Leafeon's side since his plant features are solid extensions of his own body that can be controlled at will -- effectively rendering as a limb. Definitely a subtler approach to the concept overall, dumb green armbands aside.
