UP Board Class 11 Biology – Morphology of Flowering Plants
The chapter “Morphology of Flowering Plants” in UP Board Class 11 Biology helps students understand the external structure and form of angiosperms (flowering plants). It explains how different parts of a plant—root, stem, leaf, flower, fruit, and seed—show various adaptations that help in identification and classification.
Students learn about the root system (tap root, fibrous root), modifications for storage, respiration, and support. The stem and its modifications like tendrils, thorns, and tubers are also discussed. The chapter further explains the leaf, its venation, phyllotaxy, and functions. Detailed study of the flower includes parts like calyx, corolla, androecium, and gynoecium along with inflorescence types.
It also covers different kinds of fruits (simple, aggregate, multiple) and seed types (dicot and monocot). Understanding plant morphology helps students identify plants accurately and forms the basis for studying plant taxonomy, anatomy, and physiology.
