"But we
already know all this!"Most
gardeners know the basic anatomy of their plants, and can readily identify leaves, stems,
and roots. We begin this week by taking a closer look at these and other plant parts,
examining their external and internal structures, their roles, and how they perform their
various functions.
By reviewing and introducing important
terms, we’re laying the groundwork for future discussions about plant processes and
interactions. To help you get comfortable with new terms, we created a glossary containing
the botany and horticulture terms we introduce along with their meanings. Any underlined
word is defined in the glossary. By the end of this week, you’ll be discussing
meristems and apical buds with the pros!
Let’s dive in!
