Introductory Plant Anatomy: Primary Plant Body Usama K. Abdel-hameed

Plant anatomy or phytotomy is the general term for the study of the internal structure of plants. While originally it included plant morphology, which is the description of the physical form and external structure of plants, since the mid-20th century the investigations of plant anatomy are considered a separate, distinct field. Plant anatomy is now frequently investigated at the cellular level, and often involves the sectioning of tissues and microscopy.
