So it is. Some see it as evidence of the same manufacturer but it also works well as all originating from the same original DNA. Every bit of developed life.
So that would seem to answer the question. Since we all share some plant fish and hog DNA add in in a bit more won't signify since we can tell a human from a banana. So a baby with plant DNA is really no different from anyone else.

Do you have a plant-baby you'd like to have baptized?
It is a bit implausible because the scenario seems to require something blown in the wind impregnating a woman, via undergarments, to make a "corn baby." I just think that seems very unlikely if not weird. It also seems unlikely to me that the "corn baby" would just be like a baby, but with green ears and corn hair or something.
Still the point is a human with some plant DNA aspects and whether they could receive sacraments. I don't really know the answer though. I think they'd need to be mostly human or at least sentient/sapient. (Or capable of maturing into sentience/sapience) I generally think you have to be capable of a relationship with God for the issue to matter. If the child is (I almost said "a vegetable" but that's obviously too pun-oriented) permanently at a state of awareness equivalent to a plant or even a lower animal than it would likely not make sense.
I once read a science-fiction story--the title of which escapes me at the moment--in which turnips had become the dominant species on the planet Earth at some distant point in the future. (Unfortunately, there was no mention in the story of young turnips with some human DNA in the story).
