Study Notes
Plant Morphology
- Plant morphology studies the external forms and features of plants, including roots, stems, leaves, flowers, seeds, and fruits.
- It also examines internal structures.
- Plants, specifically those in the kingdom Plantae, are eukaryotic organisms that produce their own food through photosynthesis.
- The major groups of green plants encompass algae, bryophytes, ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms.
Importance of Morphology
- Understanding morphology is crucial for identifying organisms.
- Morphology helps classify organisms.
- Morphology reveals variations within species.
- It's essential for studying plant anatomy, physiology, genetics, ecology, and other aspects of plant life.
- Morphological changes (e.g., from nutrient deficiency or excess) provide insights into plant adaptations.
Plant Parts
- Root System: Homogenous, consisting of the main root and its branches.
- Shoot System: Heterogeneous, comprising the stem (including branches), leaves, and flowers.
- Vegetative Parts: Parts responsible for nutrition and growth (roots, stems, and leaves).
- Reproductive Parts: Parts involved in sexual reproduction (flowers).
Flowering Plants (Angiosperms)
- The typical plant body has an underground root system and an aerial shoot system.
