Questions students ask

What is diversity in the living world?

Diversity means the variety of living organisms in their form, habits and habitats; it includes differences in size, shape, mode of nutrition and where they live. Studying diversity helps us group organisms so learning and identification become easier.

Difference between herb, shrub and tree?

A herb has a soft, non-woody stem and short life, a shrub has several woody stems and is medium height, while a tree has a single tall woody trunk; remember one example for each (coriander, rose, mango).
