Yes, it does. Plants growing in very windy areas will often be stunted as compared to the same plant growing in a sheltered location. It can also cause the plants to tilt and loose their shape

Yes, wind can help to strengthen plants by encouraging them to develop stronger stems and roots. The movement caused by wind can stimulate the growth of supportive tissues in plants, making them more resilient to environmental stress. However, excessive wind can also damage plants by breaking branches or uprooting them.

Yes, wind does affect plants of all types. If there is a too strong of a wind, plants could be damaged or destroyed completely. Too little wind and not enough pollination or cooling would occur. Wind is necessary for pollination of all plants and cooling of them from the hot sun.

Depending on the tempature of the wind it can be damaging to a wide selection of plants. It can uproot plants, dry them out, dehydrate them and frost them are all common effects of exreme wind. This is why its important to cover certain plants when this comes up.

Yes. Most plants aren't adapted to hold up against strong wind for long periods of time. It will cause the plant to lose water and dry out. It can do physical damage if the leaves, stems, or banches are being blown around. It can make the plant grow at an angle or in a wind swept fashion, which will cause the plant to be off balance and weak. And wind can blow a plant around so that its root stock is weakened. But wind isn't usually a problem in the wild, because a plant that is not adapted for windy areas will not naturally grow in a windy area, and vise versa.

Animals:

Wind can greatly affect wildlife, especially turkey, deer, squirrels and rabbits living or being in the woods. the animals will "hold up" as us hunters call it because the animals can not hear incoming prey because of the wind.

Plants:

Wind will not drastically affect plants because the seeds will grow almost anywhere and they get their food/nutrients from the ground.

They can certainly affect the direction of the wind. Dense forest and woodland prevents wind flowing through the trees - therefore the wind 'bends' around the forest - changing direction.

Can boats sail faster then the wind?

yes they can They make their own wind. The true wind starts the boat moving forwards, as the boat moves forwards it effectively makes wind that appears to be coming from directly ahead, called induced wind. These two winds (true and induced) combine to form apparent wind, as this is the combination of the two winds it is usually stronger stronger, therefore the boat is now sailing in more wind than the true wind and can therefore sail faster than it.
