Study of flora
Plant biology is the scientific study of plants—their structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism, and interactions with their environment.
The field encompasses everything from cellular processes like photosynthesis to ecological relationships between plants and other organisms.
Also called botany, though plant biology often emphasizes molecular and physiological approaches: She's pursuing a PhD in plant biology.
