Examples are trivially easy, as Angbroda demonstrated. Grass isn't intelligent. Neither is any plant, fungus, or microbe. Neither are most animals. There, you now have a longish list of non-hypothetical living organisms that show no evidence of intelligence. Your hierarchy is clearly wrong.
Every being has intelligence because it perceives information from its environment, converts it into knowledge, and acts with this knowledge, surviving and reproducing. This does not mean that all have the same level of intelligence, e.g. among mammals, humans have the highest.
Grass has no intelligence. It neither perceives nor understands nor acts.
