 Botany is plant biology, the scientific study of the growth, reproduction, metabolism, development, diseases, ecology, and evolution of plants. Plants are the foundation most "food chains" and botany has applications in agriculture, forestry, gardening, herbology, and medicine.
Botantists, scientists who study plants, will
- classify plants (taxonomy),
- observe the structure (anatomy),
- and function (physiology) of plants.
Plants are organisms such as trees, flowers, herbs, bushes, grasses, vines, ferns, and mosses. Organisms like some algae and fungi have been moved from the Kingdom Plantae to Kingdom Protista in modern taxonomy.

The extraordinary solar-powered machines called trees perform a function that is essential for nearly all life on Earth. They create most of the oxygen we breathe, while also absorbing toxins that would otherwise enter the atmosphere. Providing habitat for innumerable creatures, trees are a vital like in many different ecosystems, from tropical rainforests to the temperate forest of the north.

Indian Corn of the Americas
The precursor plant to what we know as corn today is believed to be a wild grass called teosinte, indiginous to central Mexico, and first cultivated (made part of the culture) about 7,000 years ago. The wild grass, which has relatively few, small seeds that easily scatter when the plant is touched, was domesticated for traits of larger, easier to harvest seeds. The domesticated plant and seeds came to be known as maize by the indiginous peoples throughout North and South America, and a major food source. Europeans were unaware of corn before the explorations of Christopher Columbus.
