Abstract

Ethnobotany, the study of the relationship between people and plants, is a discipline that intersects botany, anthropology, and history. This field explores how plants are used, managed, and perceived across different cultures, providing insight into the dynamic interactions between human societies and their natural environments ( Heinrich 2000 , Vibrans and Casas 2022 ).
