Understanding Plant Biology Concepts

This lesson covers essential plant biology terms, focusing on the life cycle of plants, including annual, biennial, and perennial types. It explains leaf retention types, such as deciduous and evergreen, and discusses plant moisture conditions like turgid and wilted. The video also explores dormant plant growth stages and introduces botany as a division of biology. Finally, it covers seasoned crops, distinguishing between cool and warm season plants.
