Botanically Speaking.................

Do you love Botany or Botany related subjects?You may or you may not.But,here I will you about an interesting fact that you will definitely love to share with your friends.

Do you know,what is a herb?A plant whose stem does not produce woody, persistent tissue and generally dies back at the end of each growing season is called a herb & my dear Banana,that we all love to eat is nothing but a herb.

In your home,you must eat tomato,which is nothing but a fruit.Have you ever heard of a fruit that is required to be cooked?Tomato is that one.
