Yes, but they react in different ways. Plants don't have a central nervous system, and we don't have any evidence that they feel pain. The only thing a plant does when a part is cut off is contain the damage by sealing the "wound". If it didn't, it would die, so that's simply a question of evolution. Animals, on the other hand, suffer pain the same way we do - which is not surprising since we are animals, too.
