The scientific study of plants is called "botany." Botany encompasses various aspects of plant life, including their physiology, structure, growth, taxonomy, and ecology. Botanists study how plants interact with their environments, their roles in ecosystems, and their uses in agriculture, medicine, and horticulture. This field has evolved over centuries, contributing significantly to our understanding of biodiversity and conservation efforts. Modern botany often employs techniques from genetics, molecular biology, and ecology, further enhancing our knowledge of plant interactions and their importance to the Earth’s ecosystems and human livelihoods.
