Plants come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny mosses to giant sequoia trees. Yet they all share some features and processes. This book explores how plants make their own food, how they grow and reproduce, and how they live in a wide range of different habitats.
Our world is incredibly diverse, but why are living things so different, and how do we make sense of the vast range of life forms? This book tackles the issues of variation – how and why it occurs – and classification, looking at how we organize plants and animals into groups.
