Detailed explanation-1: -Paleobotany includes the study of terrestrial plant fossils, as well as the study of prehistoric marine photoautotrophs, such as photosynthetic algae, seaweeds or kelp. A closely related field is palynology, which is the study of fossilized and extant spores and pollen.

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: -Plant taxonomy is the science of classifying and naming plants. It is a branch of what is known as systematics, which is the science of determining how different biological organisms are related to each other. Taxonomy classifies plants and other organisms into different taxonomic levels.
