Differences from cultural species
Wild plants are unpretentious to the soil and they do not need care. Where the seed will fall, a sprout will appear there, and over time a fullfledged copy will grow. With cultivated plants, everything is more complicated, because they need careful care, they are very picky for the soil, temperature around, lighting and other factors that have to be constantly observed for. Among other things, getting rid of wild cultures is much more difficult, because they grow in mass quantities and try their best to dig into the ground to avoid death.

Classification by life forms
Any type of plant has many life forms and classifications in which they are described. But in our time, the lists of Serebryakov and Raunkye are considered the best and most recognized as the most recognized. Both scientists agreed that there are five main forms in the world, and all the rest are derivatives:
- Terophytes no plant kidney. They begin to wither and die by the end of the flowering season. (Mac, buckwheat, chamomile, etc.)
- Cryptophytes shoots whose buds are located at a rather large depth. (Potatoes, water lilies, lilies of the valley, tulips, etc.)
- Hemicriptophytes the depth of the kidney location is small, usually along with the soil or slightly lower. (Strawberries, dandelion, barvinus, etc.)
- Hamefites the roots of these plants and their kidneys are slightly above the Earth, do not go in depth. In winter, they are covered with a small layer of snow. (Cranberries, lingonberries, blueberries, etc.)
- Fanerophytes this form mainly belongs to trees, their kidneys are located high above the ground.
