Which of the following accurately describes the relationship between plant morphology and plant anatomy?
Which of the following accurately describes the relationship between plant morphology and plant anatomy?
- Plant morphology studies the external form of plant organs, while plant anatomy studies the internal structures of these organs. (correct)
- Plant morphology focuses on the internal structures, while plant anatomy studies the external form of plant organs.
- Plant morphology and plant anatomy are interchangeable terms describing both internal and external plant structures.
- Plant anatomy encompasses the study of the entire plant, whereas plant morphology is limited to the study of reproductive structures.
