plant-development
Plant development is the lifelong process by which plants generate and organize their tissues, organs, and structures — including roots, shoots, leaves, and flowers — through continuously active regions called meristems. Unlike animals, which produce all body parts during embryogenesis, plants retain embryonic tissue throughout their lives, allowing them to grow and form new organs in response to environmental cues. Understanding this process is fundamental to plant biology, as it reveals how genetic programs and external signals coordinate to shape plant architecture, reproduction, and adaptation.
