Systematic Botany

Systematic botany is the branch of biology that focuses on the classification and naming of plants, helping to organize the vast diversity of plant life. It studies the relationships among different plant species to understand their evolutionary history and how they are related to one another. Through this process, systematic botany provides a framework for identifying plants, understanding their roles in ecosystems, and preserving biodiversity. This field uses various scientific methods, including genetic analysis and comparative morphology, to accurately categorize plants and improve our understanding of their importance to the environment and humanity.
