The answer they gave is the gotcha answer. The real answer is that vegans currently don't consider plants worth moral consideration. Its a non-issue, although I'm sure you could find some vegans who are concerned they are harming plants.

To put it another way, you can harm a plant as much as you can harm a rock. Of course our understanding might change as time goes on.
