Until recently it was thought that fishes don't feel pain, and it has proved to be very far from truth.

There is a lot we don't know, we just assume we know.
Plants neither have a central nervous system or brain like animals do. There's nothing to feel with or process the sensation of feeling something even if they could. Can plants react to exterior stuimuli? Yes of course they can but attempting to link these reactions to something akin to human pain or emotions is a pretty big stretch considering the incredible physiological differences between animals and plants.
