Question

1. How is plant anatomy useful to us?

Answer 1

The study of plant anatomy is useful in many ways. It helps us understand the way a plant functions carrying out its routine activities like transpiration, photosynthesis and growth and repair. It also helps botanists and agriculture scientists to understand the disease and cure for plants. The study of plant-structure allows us to predict the strength of wood. This is useful in utilising it to its potential. The study of various plant fibres such as jute, flax, etc., helps in their commercial exploitation.
