Morphology of Flowering plants||Ch-05||11th Biology ||IMP for NEET

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 chapters 2 and 3, 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.
