All sentient and insentient matter has consciousness - rocks, plants, animals; the only difference is that the consciousness of a rock or plant or animal is more inert, and is "expressed" only in a limited manner. Human beings, of course, are the only species on this planet with self-referring awareness, i.e "I am conscious that I am conscious".
