Botany

Botany is the scientific study of plants, including their structure, properties, biology, ecology, and taxonomy. It encompasses various aspects of plant life, such as their growth, reproduction, metabolism, and interaction with the environment. Botany also explores the role of plants in ecosystems, their importance to humans, and their potential uses in agriculture, medicine, and industry. Botanists, or plant scientists, conduct research and experiments to understand plant systems and their functions, contributing to advances in fields like horticulture, agronomy, and conservation. The discipline is a key component of biology, reflecting the significance of plants in the Earth’s biosphere.
