Botanist study plants. Plants are necessary for all life on the planet. They transform sunlight into energy that we can eat and even use as fuel. They also allow us to breathe by releasing oxygen. Botanists study plants in order to learn more about how these processes operate. Their research is used to improve crops, develop medications, clean up polluted regions, and even power our automobiles.It's a fascinating field that's at the forefront of the clean energy economy. It's also a vocation for those who enjoy the outdoors. Botanists examine how plants interact with their surroundings. These plant ecologists' work aids in the preservation of endangered species and natural environments. We all benefit from their work, regardless of specialisation.Botany is simply the study of plants. Botany encompasses the study of everything from algae to giant Redwood trees, at all scales, from the microscopic to the ecosystem level.
