Botanists

A botanist is a scientist who studies plants, including their structure, growth, reproduction, and their roles in the environment. They explore various plant types—from tiny mosses to towering trees—and examine how plants interact with each other, animals, and ecosystems. Botanists may conduct field research outdoors, analyze plant specimens in laboratories, or develop methods to cultivate and conserve plant species. Their work helps us understand plant biology, improve agriculture, protect endangered species, and address environmental challenges. Overall, botanists contribute to understanding the vital role plants play in sustaining life on Earth.
