Importance of Plant Classification
The main purpose of classifying plants is to ensure that the right plants are correctly named, grouped and identified.
Plants are classified based on these 3 characteristics:

- Woody plants can also be grouped as deciduous or evergreen.
- Deciduous plants are seasonal plants which shed its leaves at the end of the growing season, either during the winter season in the temperate climate or during the dry season in the tropical climate.
