    Botany is a scientific discipline that explores plants from a wide range of perspectives. Some botanists focus on taxonomy, the classification and naming of plants, while others are more drawn to systematics, morphology (the form and structure of plants), anatomy, physiology (how plants function), histology (the study of plant tissues), or plant pathology (the study of plant diseases).

    Botanical research can be carried out at many levels of biological organization—starting at the molecular level, moving through genetics and cell biology, and extending to organismal biology, ecology, and eventually to the study of entire plant communities and their interactions with the environment.

    Mycology, the study of fungi, and phycology, the study of algae, are often closely associated with botany. This is largely for historical reasons: in its early development, botany encompassed all living organisms that were not considered animals, grouping together plants, fungi, and algae under one umbrella.
