Why a plant uses mind map helps you remember
Plant uses are easy to mix up when they show up scattered across a long reading list, since food crops, medicinal compounds, and fibers blur together. A plant uses mind map sorts them into branches so you can see how food, medicine, fiber, and fuel relate.
