Comprehension Passage
Directions: Read the following paragraph and answer the questions below.
Plant Morphology is a sub-discipline of botany that deals with the external features, forms and structures of plants. From roots that provide anchorage and absorb nutrients, to leaves that capture sunlight for photosynthesis, each aspect of a plant plays a vital role in its survival. Above ground, stems provide structural support and serve as conduits for water, nutrients and sugars, while flowers often showcase a vibrant array of colors and designs to attract pollinators for reproduction. Underneath, roots form intricate systems, absorbing water and vital nutrition from the soil. On a grander scale, the study of plant morphology allows scientists and botanists to classify plant species, understand their life cycles and observe how they interact with the environment. This knowledge is incredibly significant in agriculture, conservation efforts, as well as in the adaptation of plants to changing climates.
