What is plant anatomy?

• ANATOMY: study of the structure of

organisms… looking at cells, tissues.

What is plant physiology?

•PHYSIOLOGY: study of the function of cells,
tissues, organs of living things;

and the physics/chemistry of these functions…

structure and
carbohydrate (sugar)
storage.

Found between the

vascular and dermal
tissue in a plant.
