Yes, plants do breathe at night through a process called respiration. However, this process differs from their respiration during the day because at night, plants do not undergo photosynthesis, so they rely solely on respiration to obtain energy. During the day, plants use photosynthesis to produce energy from sunlight, in addition to respiration.
