DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Paleobotany is the scientific study of ancient plants, using plant fossils found in sedimentary rocks. These fossils can be impressions or compressions of the plants left on the rock’s surface, or “petrified” objects, such as wood, which preserve the original plant material in rocklike form.

Detailed explanation-2: -The study of how to identify and name organisms is taxonomy. Taxonomic classication of fossils follows the same principles used for the classication of living organisms and has a hierarchy of divisions. These principles were rst proposed in the 18th century by Carolus Linnaeus, a Swedish biologist.

Detailed explanation-3: -Paleontology is the scientific study of life in the geologic past, based on examination of fossilized remains of once living organisms, such as tracks, bones, teeth, plants, and shells.
