Key Points: Plant Morphology
- Morphology is the study of external features of organisms, especially plants.
- Adaptation refers to structural or functional changes that help organisms survive and reproduce in their environment.
- Flowering plants (angiosperms) show great variation in size, shape, structure, and habitat.
- Basic parts of angiosperms include roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits.
- Plants have two main systems: root system (underground) and shoot system (above ground), with modifications for functions like storage, protection, and climbing.
