Question

Why did botany take off in the 16th century leading to a need for a naming system?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Germany

Botany first 'flowered' in Germany in the early sixteenth century. Otto Brunfels was the first to produce a major work on plants.Plants were of paramount importance to early humans, who depended upon them as sources of food, shelter, clothing, medicine, ornament, tools, and magic. Today it is known that, in addition to their practical and economic values, green plants are indispensable to all life on Earth: through the process of photosynthesis, plants transform energy from the Sun into the chemical energy of food, which makes all life possible.
