👉 Phyto- is a word that means "plant" in Chinese. It refers to the measurement of plant biomass, which includes both living and nonliving parts of plants. In botanical terms, this can be used for measuring the size and number of leaves, stems, roots, flowers, seeds, fruits, and other plant components. Phytometry is a method used in botany and plant physiology to determine how much plant material there is and its distribution across different parts of the plant.
