Life forms of plants
A term for the vegetative (morphological) form of the plant body. A related term is growth form but a theoretical distinction is often made: life form is thought by some to represent a basic genetic adaptation to environment, whereas growth form carries with it no connotation of adaptation and is a more general term applicable to structural differences.
