Compare this scheme to the scientists classify plants today?

Question

Thousands of years ago, Aristotle classified plants according to their size. campare this scheme to the scientists classify plants to day

Answer 1

Taxonomists today use a plant's morphology (the form or shape of a plant) to classify them in groups. Size is not an acceptable form of classification since so many plant species have been discovered. We are just getting into using genetic tests to seperate and classify different plants.
