External and Internal Morphology of Plants

This topic provides an in-depth study of plant structure and function, which is essential for effective crop production. Learners will classify crops by life cycle and analyze the external and internal morphology of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. They will relate structure to function, including processes like pollination and fertilization. The unit also covers seed germination and various methods of vegetative propagation such as budding, grafting, and cuttings. Mastery of plant morphology is a key learning outcome in the CBC and is frequently examined by ECZ in diagrams, explanations, and questions on crop improvement techniques.
