Indeed. Many plants even bear fruit that is intended to be eaten. I don’t think any animals intend to be eaten. Fruit is specifically supposed to look and taste good, so that animals eat it and crap out the seeds elsewhere. Even edible leaves are beneficial, as the animals leave fertiliser (more shit).
Though, to say the plant wants to be eaten would be a stretch. There’s no evidence of a thought process, it’s entirely developed just from evolutionary gain. Animals, however, do think.
Have you considered that certain parts of a plant wouldn’t feel pain if plants can feel pain just like we don’t feel pain when cutting our hair for example even though our hair is a part of us
