In chapters 2 and 3, we talked about classification of plants based on morphological and other characteristics. For any successful attempt at classification and at understanding any higher plant (or for that matter any living organism) we need to know standard technical terms and standard definitions. We also need to know about the possible variations in different parts, found as adaptations of the plants to their environment, e.g., adaptations to various habitats, for protection, climbing, storage, etc.
Consider the following statements: 1. Early descriptions of life forms were based only on gross structural features and perceivable living phenomena. 2. Before physiology was established, biology was mainly studied as natural history. 3. Katherine Esau demonstrated that curly top virus spreads through xylem tissue. 4. All angiosperms, despite large diversity, are characterised by the presence of roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. 5. Adaptations in plants may include modifications for habitats, protection, climbing, and storage. Which of the above statements are correct?
