Botany

Botany is a branch of biology dealing with the study of plants. It is regarded as a biology field and life science within that biology. Botany has two main branches of inquiry, taxonomy and morphology. Taxonomy is the identification, naming and classification of plants, fungi, and bacteria and their localization, ecology, and distribution. Morphology is concerned with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts.

It includes all aspects of plant life, from the study of their structure and function to their interaction with other organisms.

Botany also encompasses the study of how these organisms are used for food, medicine, and industry and how they interact with humans in a cultural context. What can I do in botany? You can work on research projects that involve studying plants or working with them in gardens or greenhouses. You may want to work on whole plant studies where you grow seeds over many years to learn more about the genetics involved in reproduction (e.g., flowering time).
