Significance of Macroscopic features
Macroscopic features encompass the observable physical characteristics of various plants and fungi that can be seen without magnification. This includes traits such as color, size, shape, and texture, which are essential for initial identification. Examples include the visible traits of the Durva plant, tubers, fungal colonies, leaves, Ficus bark, turmeric rhizomes, and the Gul-e-Surkh plant. These macroscopic features play a crucial role in differentiating and identifying species across different biological categories.
