Name the diagnostic characters present in the following morphological parts of the plant: a) flowers b) fruits c) seeds d) roots e) rhizomes.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the specific traits or features that can be used to identify or classify different morphological parts of a plant, including flowers, fruits, seeds, roots, and rhizomes.
Answer
Flowers: sepals, petals, stamens, pistils; Fruits: type, shape, seed arrangement; Seeds: size, shape, seed coat; Roots: primary, secondary structures; Rhizomes: horizontal stems, buds.
Diagnostic characters of plant parts are: Flowers - sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils; Fruits - type, shape, and seed arrangement; Seeds - size, shape, and seed coat texture; Roots - primary, secondary, and adventitious structures; Rhizomes - horizontal underground stems and buds.

More Information
These components are crucial for identifying and classifying plants based on their external features, aiding botanists in distinguishing between species.
Tips
Avoid confusing the parts of the plant with their functions or internal structures. Focus on external morphological features.
