Plants don't target dead zombies - if a plant is attacking it then it's not dead. Normally this doesn't make a lot of difference, but it does when high-cost projectiles (eg: giant peas, Coconut Cannonballs, Strawbursts, Wintermelon's melons) are absorbed by decapitated zombies

This also explains certain "glitches" on the glitches page, like "Iceberg Lettuce freeze nothing Glitch 2" and why the Tree of Wisdom says Bucketheads have 5x the health of Basic zombies, since 270*5 = 1350, which is close to 1370. (1370 = 1150 for bucket + 270 for zombie) So how would you choose to present the health of the 'corpse' then. If I'm not wrong, some lightning and fire plants like Lightning Reed make clean kills, meaning that they will remove the corpse upon hitting the critical point.
