DEFINITION.??

DEFINITION
Botany, plant science(s), phytology,
or plant biology is a branch of biology
and is the scientific study of plant
life and development.
Botany covers a wide range of scientific
disciplines that study plants, algae, and
fungi including: structure, growth,
reproduction, metabolism,
development, diseases, and chemical
properties and evolutionary
relationships between the different
groups.

IMPORTANCE OF
BOTANY.??

IMPORTANCE OF BOTANY

Historically, botany covered all organisms that

were not considered to be animals. Some of
these organisms are no longer considered to
be part of the plant kingdom these include
fungi (studied in mycology), lichens (
lichenology), bacteria (bacteriology), viruses (
virology) and single-celled algae, which are
now grouped as part of the Protista. However,
attention is still given to these groups by
botanists, and fungi, lichens, bacteria and
photosynthetic protists are usually covered in
introductory botany courses.

IMPORTANCE OF BOTANY
The study of plants has importance for a number of
reasons.
Plants are a fundamental part of life on Earth. They
generate the oxygen, food, fibres, fuel and
medicine that allow higher life forms to exist.
Plants also absorb carbon dioxide through
photosynthesis, a minor greenhouse gas that in
large amounts can affect global climate.
A good understanding of plants is crucial to the
future of human societies as it allows us to:
1. Produce food to feed an expanding population
2. Understand fundamental life processes
3. Produce medicine and materials to treat diseases
and other ailments
4. Understand environmental changes more clearly

IMPORTANCE OF BOTANY : FOOD

Plants are the fundamental base of nearly all food chains

because they use the energy from the sun and nutrients
from the soil and atmosphere and convert them into a
form that can be consumed and utilized by animals; this
is what ecologists call the first trophic level.

Botanists also study how plants produce food we can eat

and how to increase yields and therefore their work is
important in mankind's ability to feed the world and
provide food security for future generations, for example
through plant breeding. Botanists also study weeds,
plants which are considered to be a nuisance in a
particular location. Weeds are a considerable problem in
agriculture, and botany provides some of the basic
science used to understand how to minimize 'weed'
impact in agriculture and native ecosystems.
Ethnobotany is the study of the relationships between
plants and people.
