Therefore, Aristotle is called the Father of biology.
He was a great Greek philosopher and polymath.
His theory of biology also known as the “Aristotle's biology” describes five major biological processes, namely, metabolism, temperature regulation, inheritance, information processing and embryogenesis..
This impressive classification and organisation of all living things was championed by Carl Linnaeus in the 18th century, who today could be described as the godfather of classic botany..
Due to his extensive writings on plants, he is also recognised as the “Father of Botany.” Plants were categorised in one of his publications, “Enquiry into Plants,” based on their geographical ranges, sizes, applications and growth habits..
These botanists explored what is now called developmental anatomy and morphology by carefully observing, describing and drawing the developmental transition from seed to mature plant, recording stem and wood formation.
This work included the discovery and naming of parenchyma and stomata.
