The study of plant anatomy helps to understand structural adaptations in plants with respect to their different environmental conditions.
● It also helps us in differentiating between monocots, dicots, and gymnosperms. This gives us an idea of the physiological state of the plants and so can be useful in crop improvement.
● Internal structures also help us to predict the strength of wood and hence its utility for commercial activities.
● Study of plant fibres such as jute, flax, and hemp, etc. may prove useful in their business-related exploitation.
