HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Undernutrition is a deficiency of nutrients. You may be undernourished if you don’t have an adequate diet, or if your body has trouble absorbing enough nutrients from your food. Undernutrition can cause visible wasting of fat and muscle, but it can also be invisible.

Detailed explanation-2: -Protein-calorie malnutrition is separated into two forms, kwashiorkor and marasmus. Kwashiorkor is a state of acute, severe protein-calorie malnutrition resulting in edema and hair changes, often accompanied by encephalopathy. Marasmus is the chronic form of this disorder and causes apathy and growth failure.

Detailed explanation-3: -You may develop malnutrition if you lack a single vitamin in your diet. Lacking a vitamin or other nutrient is called a deficiency. Sometimes malnutrition is very mild and causes no symptoms. Other times it can be so severe that the damage it does to the body is permanent, even though you survive.
