Botanists study plants to figure out where they
came from and how they eat and reproduce.
They also study how plants can be used for food
and what sort of products can be made from
plants. For example, this book is made from
paper, which came from the wood pulp of trees.
n addition, botanists study
how to protect plants
that are in danger
from disease, pests,
and pollution. By
studying plants,
botanists also find
new ways to use
them.
