The study of the form and structure of organisms

Real World Example

Imagine trying to assemble a piece of flat-pack furniture without any instructions. This situation mirrors the study of morphology because, like the furniture pieces, organisms have various parts whose form and structure need to be understood to make sense of the whole. Just as understanding each piece's shape and how it fits with others is crucial for building the furniture, morphology involves studying the form and structure of organisms to understand how different parts function together in living beings.
