NEET Biology Flashcards: Plant Morphology

This document summarizes various morphological features of flowering plants including: 1) Adventitious roots that do not arise from the radicle, and prop roots, stilt roots, and pneumatophores as examples of modified roots. 2) Stem modifications like thorns, photosynthesis, offsets, suckers, and stolons. 3) Leaf modifications including tendrils and phyllotaxy. 4) Floral characteristics such as racemose and cymose inflorescences, actinomorphic and zygomorphic symmetry, hypogynous, perigynous, and epigynous flowers.
