About this title

Synopsis

This book lays the foundation for understanding the fundamentals of botany -- the scientific study of plants -- through meticulous examination of the parts of plants. The author begins by explaining the most basic building blocks of a plant, including its roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. Next, the author takes a deep dive into the intricate structure of plant flowers, including the pistil, the stamen, and the role they play in reproduction. In doing so, the author situates the discoveries that shaped the scientific understanding of plant biology, such as the identification of the role of pollen transfer in plant procreation. This book is an essential guide to understanding the fundamental principles of botany, making it an invaluable resource for students, educators, and anyone with an interest in the natural world.
