Various terms on plant classification are used to describe and group plants according to their natural habitat or ecological adaptation. These terms facilitate communication and understanding about agricultural crops or potential crops for various purposes such as crop selection for gardening or crop farming, research and development, and plant collection.
Total understanding of plant classification and plant adaptation is likewise important in applying more efficient methods for the commercialized production of crops.
In The Plants (1963), there is mention that the pygmy cedar (Peucepyllum) has the unique ability to live without soil water. It replenishes its water supply from the water vapor in the air at night time. This is interesting because it is always presumed that terrestrial plants naturally obtain water which is essential for their life processes from the soil. After all, terrestrial plants have roots which are anchored on the soil.
With such information, it follows that it is possible to make productive any problem area by selecting crops which originated from similarly situated natural habitats. A list of crops under the different plant classifications will be a useful reference.
