botanist

A botanist is a scientist who studies plants, including their structure, growth, reproduction, and the roles they play in ecosystems. They explore various plant types, from tiny mosses to towering trees, and examine how plants interact with their environment, other organisms, and humans. Botanists may work in laboratories, nature reserves, or research institutions, aiming to understand plant biology, discover new species, and find ways to protect and sustainably use plant resources. Their work is essential for agriculture, medicine, conservation, and understanding the natural world.
