I know about this plant because I saw it once in a plant book that I was reading. The "playing dead" is it closes it's leaves together and after a while it opens up again. In the wild it does this so animals can't eat it's leaves. Little hairs on it's leaves can trigger when a animal touches it then it closes up for protection.
