Horticulture is the science and art of cultivating fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants, often within intensively managed environments like greenhouses rather than large-scale field agriculture. It matters for plant science because it provides a controlled setting to study plant growth, development, and stress responses under precise environmental variables. This discipline also drives innovation in breeding, propagation, and cultivation techniques that advance our broader understanding of plant biology.
