Plant Taxonomy deals with classifying and naming plants. Scientists identify and group plants based on characteristics like morphology and genetics. This helps understand relationships between different species.
Key aspects include:
- Identifying and describing plant species
- Grouping plants into categories like families and genera
- Naming plants using binomial nomenclature
Plant taxonomy is crucial for conservation and studying evolution. It helps researchers track species and understand biodiversity.
Some areas of focus are:
- Angiosperm taxonomy: flowering plants
- Gymnosperm taxonomy: conifers and allies
- Pteridophyte taxonomy: ferns and allies
