Study Notes

Plant Morphology

  • Plant morphology is the study of plant forms and features, both internal and external
  • Plants are eukaryotic organisms that use photosynthesis to make food (autotrophs)
  • Major groups of plants include algae, bryophytes, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms
  • Plant morphology is important for identifying plants and classifying them
  • Plant morphology is used to understand variations within species
  • It is used to study plant anatomy, physiology, genetics, and ecology
  • Morphology examines how plants adapt to their environments
  • Plants have both a root and shoot system
  • The root system is homogenous, consisting of the main root and its lateral branches
  • The shoot system is heterogeneous, including stems, leaves, and flowers
  • Vegetative parts (root, stem, and leaves) are involved in nutrition and growth
  • Floral or reproductive parts (flowers) are involved in sexual reproduction
