Embryology in Plant Taxonomy Introduction Plant taxonomy is the science of naming, describing, and classifying plants. Historically, plants were classified primarily based on their gross morphology (shape and structure). However, morphological characters can sometimes be misleading due to environmental adaptation. In contrast, plant embryology is the study of the origin and development of the embryo, micro- and megasporogenesis, and associated reproductive structures. Embryological characters are generally more reliable for classification because they are strongly controlled by genetics and are less influenced by external environmental factors. Consequently, they help taxonomists understand the true evolutionary relationships between plant groups. Importance of Embryology in Taxonomy Embry...
