The morphology and anatomy of fossil plants contains a wealth of information on the function, physiology, ecology, and life habit of ancient plants.
Plant morphology can also yield clues to taxonomic and evolutionary relationships.
Consequently, background in plant structure is a prerequisite for studying land plant evolution. This lab reviews plant structure, especially cell and tissue types, and the arrangement of the vascular system. We provide only the most basic information here. Morphology of Vascular Plants. .
