Question

How is the study of plant anatomy useful to us?

Answer 1

• The study of plant anatomy helps us understand the structural adaptations of plants with respect to diverse environmental conditions.
• It also helps us to distinguish between monocots, dicots, and gymnosperms. Such a study is linked to plant physiology.
• Hence, it helps in the improvement of food crops. The study of plant structure allows us to predict the strength of wood. This is useful in utilising it to its potential.
• The study of various plant fibres, such as jute, flax, etc., helps in their commercial exploitation.
