    A herbarium is a collection of preserved plant specimens that are pressed, dried, and annotated. It serves as a valuable resource for studying biodiversity, ecology, and evolution by archiving plant samples gathered over wide areas and long periods of time. Herbaria are important sources of information about a region's flora and store data for scientific research like describing species. They also document plant variation and history that can no longer be found in the wild. The student's personal herbarium documents a Bougainvillea plant from their backyard over two weeks as it changed color.

    1. What is herbarium?
    A herbarium is a valuable resource for studies on biodiversity,
    ecology, and evolution. It's a primary data source of dried and
    tagged plant specimens that's organized to make retrieval
    and archival storage simple. A herbarium is similar to a library,
    but the knowledge is kept in biolo Herbarium are collections of
    specimens gathered over a wide geographic range and over a
    long period of time. Typically, many samples of individual
    species gathered from various habitats are saved so that
    variation among individuals can be documented and linked to
    ecological or evolutionary reasons.gical form––pressed, dried,
    and annotated plant specimens.

    2. What is the importance of


    herbarium

    Herbarium is significant because it is a source of information


    on a state's, locality's, or country's flora. It's also a data
    storage where you may find plant-related information. It
    serves as a repository for gene pool research. Several
    herbaria have been built at centers as a result of its
    relevance, and it is extremely beneficial in the study of
    cytology, DNA structure, numerical taxonomy,
    chaemotaxonomy, and other topics. The public can use the
    herbarium as an educational platform
    3. What are the uses of
    herbarium?

    A herbarium is a store of preserved plant specimens and data


    for scientific research. A herbarium's specimens are frequently
    used as reference material in the description of plant species;
    some specimens may be types. It's also utilized to supply
    material for morphological measurements and information on
    uncommon, extirpated, or extinct species that no longer exist
    in the wild. This also traces the history of binomial usage in a
    given area for a given taxon.
