Environmental factors significantly influence plant growth, with elements like sunlight, temperature, and soil moisture playing crucial roles. Plants respond to these factors through acclimation, showcasing remarkable developmental plasticity. Over time, when immediate responses are insufficient, genetic adaptations occur, transforming transient traits into permanent characteristics. This ongoing interaction between plants and their environment shapes their development and determines their distribution across the globe, highlighting the dynamic relationship between organisms and their ecological contexts.
