biomechanics
Biomechanics is the study of how physical forces shape the structure, function, and movement of biological systems, applying principles of mechanics to living organisms. In plant science, this field reveals how plants engineer their tissues to support growth, withstand environmental stress, and enable rapid movements like trapping or water-storage adaptations. Understanding these mechanical strategies offers insight into plant survival tactics and inspires biomimetic designs in engineering and materials science.
