Routing in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is an extremely challenging issue due to the features of WSNs.Inspired by the large and single-celled amoeboid organism, slime mold Physarum polycephalum, we establish a novel selecting Plant Stands next hop model (SNH).Based on this model, we present a novel Physarum-based routing scheme (P-bRS) for WSNs
