Difference between Botany and Plant physiology

Botany vs. Plant physiology

Botany, also called plant science(s), plant biology or phytology, is the science of plant life and a branch of biology. Plant physiology is a subdiscipline of botany concerned with the functioning, or physiology, of plants.
