The scientific family name for plants that includes amaranths, cockscomb, and similar flowering plants with unusual flower structures.
From 'amarant' (the type plant) combined with the Latin family suffix '-aceae' used in botanical taxonomy to denote plant families.
Botanists use the '-aceae' suffix the same way you might use 'Smith family' or 'Johnson family'—it instantly tells you how different plants are related to each other, like botanical cousins!
