    When I was younger if someone told me that cherry trees were a member of the rose family I wouldn't've believed it. But then you look at the leaves, the flowers, and a lot of other features and it all starts to make sense.... but it's still so wild.

      Isn't the word 'fruit' used in botany to describe a plant organ. The vegetative are: root, something (stem? no idea how to translate it), leaf, and the reproductive are: flower, fruit and seed. Right? In my language, there are seperate words for the plant organ and the opposide of a vegetable. 'Fruit', as in 'thing that is opposite of a vegetable' is typically an agronomy term, rather than a botanical one.

    This was probably one of the most amazing things I learned about plants over the years - especially because it implies that for any given plant, there may well exist related forms varying from enormous old growth trees to miniscule ephemeral herbs, all of which may have recognizable congruent structures in flower, leaf, fruit, or seed, in addition to similar edible or medicinal characteristics. This may also imply that, say, even though there may never have been a tree form of a strawberry, the genetic potential to create one is likely extant in current herbaceous forms.

    Some inaccuracies: wild carrots being inedible, apples not being fruits because they don’t form from the "plant ovary" (also inaccurate) and therefore being “false fruits” (even though they’re accessory fruits the same way as cucumbers, pumpkins, melons, figs and many others), plant sexual reproduction (see alternation of generations), the number of edible plant species, etc.

    All through high school and college I thought botany was one of the dullest subjects imaginable, but then I somehow got into it and realized how fascinating it really is. It's not just what is known, but what is still unknown; finally DNA is resolving some of the relationships which were only guessed at before. Also the incredible diversity, just when you think you've got a handle on what variety is possible, there's a new plant which upsets your expectations. Did you think you had to visit an alien planet to find a life form with three genders? Nope, there's a plant right here on Earth (purple loosestrife).

    Fantastic work! This video does a great job of explaining plant relations. You somehow make it novice friendly but detailed enough to surprise and interest the more advanced as well. Would love to see this expanded - this quality on the economic and major families with distinguishing and important features...

    From a horticulturist blog on apples. "...The ovaries at the base of the stigma.7 And the hypanthium8 - that develops into the ‘fleshy’ part of the apple; the part we actually eat - has just begun to swell. The fertilised ovaries, in which the apple’s five seeds, or ‘pips’, will develop, is now encased in the growing hypanthium, which will continue to swell and eventually ripen, to become a deliciously edible apple fruit."

    I was blown away as a kid, when I learned that "trees" are not related but rather a niche that most plants can fill. They seem so different!

    Hi. Enjoyed this one a lot. Was kind of refreshing as it was something not so much in my subject area.
    If I am not mistaken, SUGAR CANE and BAMBOO are also grasses, at least this is how a learnt it.
    It happens so no worries, but did you realise that in the heading at 13:21, the word 'monocot' is incorrectly spelt? 🙂 It doesn't take away from the video at all.
    You mentioned 'white carrots'. Here in Trinidad, there is something we call morai, which basically looks like a white carrot. It is eaten by some down here, but not so much by myself. The taste is totally different though - strong and slightly pungent to me.
    Have a good upcoming year.

    The "palm" at 12:14 actually looks more like a Cycad. Given the subject of this video these should not be mixed up.

    1:40 just a clarification here, single celled, or multicelled and microscopic algae aren't all diatoms. Diatoms are a specific group of algae that are microscopic and characterized by carbonate coverings that are symmetrical (either radially, like how a starfish or a mandala pattern looks, or on only one plane (bilaterally)). These coverings fit together in two parts, with one partially going underneath the other one due to its slightly smaller size. Actually the most prevalent form of algae are cyanobacteria, which don't have chloroplasts (but do still photosynthesize using chlorophyll and other light-harvesting pigments, which is why some of them appear greenish), and are the main scrubers of CO2 from our atmosphere ((also cyanobacteria are largely responsible for our atmosphere having an abundance of oxygen instead of carbon dioxide-- they were so productive millions of years ago that they paved the way for organisms that use oxygen- like us!)). Okay I went a little farther than intended there, but hopefully someone will have a fun time reading that. Just know that there are many different structural options for algae, and that only some of them are closely genetically related to plants.

    Stumbled upon a replay of your TED talk at xVan over 7 years ago and it made such an impression then that this time as I listened, it seemed important to detail to myself your 4 Principles of relating a detailed scientific or other complex set of transactions. That was when I also tripped onto a video you had made and posted on UA-cam, December 31, 2023 on Domain of Science, Dominic Walliman. I was excited because this set of circumstances reminded me a those 'scavenger hunts' my own generation used to engage in for parties and play. I had carefully watched the full video Map of Plants, in preparation for a complex climate-smart agriculture and nutrition education project which will span a number of years to come, hopefully. All the while engaging groups of likeminded or interested parties all along the way. Please accept my humble appreciation and of course, May you and yours...Be In Good Health. 😎

    so sometimes i want to tell her stuff that's way past her level
    videos like this are great for background information on what a plant or animal even is in science and now we can talk about more stuff!
