Plant Systematics and Evolution

Plant systematics and evolution is the scientific study of how plants are classified and how they have changed over time. It involves organizing plants into groups based on shared characteristics, such as structure, genetics, and evolutionary history. This field helps us understand the relationships among different plant species, how they adapt to their environments, and their evolutionary processes. By studying these connections, scientists can improve conservation efforts and agricultural practices, ensuring that we better understand and protect the diverse plant life on Earth.
