speciation
Speciation is the evolutionary process by which populations diverge and develop into distinct species over time. In plant science, understanding speciation helps researchers uncover how the extraordinary diversity of flowering plants arose, how reproductive barriers form between populations, and how plants adapt to new ecological niches. This knowledge informs conservation efforts, crop improvement, and our broader understanding of plant evolution and biodiversity.
