Answer:
Phytomorphology is the study of the physical form and external structure of plants.[1] This is usually considered distinct from plant anatomy,[1] which is the study of the internal structure of plants, especially at the microscopic level.[2] Plant morphology is useful in the visual identification of plants. Recent studies in molecular biology started to investigate the molecular processes involved in determining the conservation and diversification of plant morphologies.

hope it helps plz mark me as brainliest ☺️☺️
1. Comparative Morphology were the structures (root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit, seed, sori, thallus, spore etc.) of different plants belonging to the same or different species are visually (externally) observed for formulating the thoughts of similarities.
2. Plant morphology inspects both the vegetative (somatic) structures (root, rhizoids, stem, leaf) as well as the reproductive structures (Flowers, seeds, fern sori, moss capsules, alteration of generations in algae and fungi) of the plants.
3. Plant morphology studies plant structure at a micro level. At the smallest scales is the ultra structures or the general structural features of cells, frequently involving the sectioning of tissues and microscopy.
4. Plant morphology also observes the way of development, the process by which structures initiates and mature as a plant grows.
