  Anatomy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anatomy (from the Greek anatome, from ana-temnein, to cut up), is the branch of biology that deals with the structure and organization of living things.
Animal anatomy may include the study of the structure of different animals, when it is called comparative anatomy or animal morphology, or it may be limited to one animal only, in which case it is spoken of as special anatomy.
From the morphological point of view, however, human anatomy is a scientific and fascinating study, having for its object the discovery of the causes which have brought about the existing structure of humans, and needing a knowledge of the allied sciences of embryology or developmental biology, phylogeny, and histology.

Plant organs are composed of tissue, groups of cells that work together to perform a physiological or mechanical function.
Plant tissues are divided into two major categories: meristematic tissues composed of actively dividing cells, and permanent tissues composed of mature and specialized cell types.
A typical flowering seed plant (Angiosperm) is composed of a number of interrelated parts having different structures and functions, but with each part contributing to the unity of the plant as a whole.

 Plant Anatomy Introduction
Plants, in general, exhibit open growth, or continuous growth from their meristems of embryonic origin until they die.
At all times the tips of plants are essentially embryonic, with active meristems, while other regions may be up to 1000's of years old.
Herbaceous plants do not have such strong, woody parts which persist year after year, and are rarely as large as the woody plants.

 Plant Anatomy
The plant uses the energy from the sun to split water molecules into their component parts: hydrogen and oxygen.
The plant discards the oxygen and mixes the hydrogen with carbon dioxide from the air to produce glucose and other sugars for food.

You do not get seeds from parts of the plant other than the fruit (small plants produced from the leaves or inflorescence or other places are products of asexual reproduction and should be clones of their parent).
Plants grown from seed tend to be somewhat different from the plant that produced the seeds.
In most plants these are the parts which do the important job of photosynthesis (the process by which plants use energy from light to convert water and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and oxygen).

Sections of living plant tissues would typically not have any color except yellow or green in the chloroplasts (chlorophyll is a green pigment, carotene is a yellow pigment) or red colors in the vacuole (anthocyanin pigments found typically only in flower or fruit tissues).
