Botanists

/ˈbɒtənɪsts/ noun

Definition

Plural of botanist; scientists or experts who study plants and plant life.

Etymology

From 'botanist' (from 'botany' plus '-ist' agent suffix) plus the regular plural '-s.' A person trained in the scientific study of plants.

Kelly Says

Modern botanists don't just identify plants—they study plant genetics, how plants communicate underground through fungal networks, how plants adapt to climate change, and even how to use them to solve medical problems. Plant science is way cooler than most people think!
