The subject of Botany encompasses a scientific study of plants that includes structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism, taxonomy, development, diseases and evolutionary relationship of different classes of plants. It helps in grasping first-hand knowledge about the life process, and production of food, fibers and biopharmaceuticals to treat diseases and to understand environmental changes vital for the survival of life on this planet.
