Botany is the branch of Biology that focuses on the study of plants, their structure, functions, growth, reproduction, and role in the environment. This category is curated for school students (Classes 6–12) and undergraduate learners to build strong fundamentals with exam-focused clarity.

In this section, you’ll explore:

  • Plant morphology, anatomy, and physiology explained step-by-step

  • Reproduction in plants, development, and life cycles

  • Cell biology, genetics, and biotechnology concepts related to plants

  • Ecology and plant diversity with real-world relevance

  • Important questions, MCQs, diagrams, and revision notes for exams

The content is aligned with NCERT, school boards, and UG syllabi, making it highly useful for school exams, NEET preparation, and college assessments. Concepts are explained in simple language with a focus on understanding, not rote learning.

Build a strong foundation in plant sciences and master Botany with confidence.
