11th 12th Biology Morphology Of Flowering Plant

Description

The wide range in the structure of higher plants will never fail to fascinate us. Even though the angiosperms show such a large diversity in external structure or morphology, they are all characterised by presence of roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits.

In this videos we talked about classification of plants based on morphological and other characteristics. For any successful attempt

at classification and at understanding any higher plant (or for that matter any living organism) we need to know standard technical terms

and standard definitions. We also need to know about the possible variations in different parts, found as adaptations of the plants to their

environment, e.g., adaptions to various habitats, for protection, climbing, storage, etc.

If you pull out any weed you will see that all of them have roots, stems and leaves. They may be bearing flowers and fruits. The underground

part of the flowering plant is the root system while the portion above the ground forms the shoot system
