Botanist

A botanist is a scientist who studies plants. Botanists learn about how plants grow, where they live, and how they help the environment. This can include trees, flowers, grass, and even tiny mosses. Some botanists spend time outside collecting plant samples, while others work in laboratories using microscopes and computers. Their work is very important because plants give us food, clean air, and medicines. Botanists also help protect rare plants and teach people about nature.
