Back in secondary school, we had this plant around the school and we will go to them and touch them to see the wonders that nature has installed within.
I never actually knew the name "touch-me-not" was formal. I would think it was just a name locally coined by people due to the behavior of the plant. This is quite educative and it is really interesting to know the mechanism behind the behavior of this plant.
Best wishes!
