Growing towards the light is what a plant does, animated by its soul. Humans have free will and rationality, aspects that a plant or animal doesn’t.
Why do you say aspect that an animal doesn't? the human being is an animal with such aspects.
To rate it not an animal because of these aspects is quite subjective.
I get that drawing lines and making distinctions can sometimes mean blurry lines, but at the end of the day an oak is an oak, a cow is a cow, and a human a human…all defined by our particular aspects.
