Begin to understand the breadth of the plant kingdom and the adaptations plants use to thrive in different environmental conditions. From the arid desert to the tropical rainforest, plants have developed morphological characteristic such as the waxy cuticles of succulents or the shallow root systems of palms. Even the structure of the flowers, such as orchids, plays a part in the survival and diversity of plants.
