Botany - Morphology of Flowering Plants Question with Solution | TestHub

The floral characters tell us about the flowers and its arrangement, the floral organs and its fusion, on the other hand, the vegetative characters involve the shoot system and the roots. For classification of angiosperms, the floral characters are preferred over the vegetative characters because they are less affected by the external environment and therefore show fewer variations as compared to the vegetative traits of the plant. One more reason for their preference is that the flowers are easy to be carried and greatly vary from each other, which makes the classification easier.
