I'm pretty sure those are the scientific terms. They might be broken down into components, but for the entire part of the plant (or substance in the case of soil), that's about as technical as it gets.
Reply:In Botany, plants parts are given specific scientific names . For example, there are three parts to a plant’s botanical and scientific name alone. These are the genus, the epithet and the authority. The ‘genus’ - (part of the name) is determined by the structures and flowering characteristics of plant. The ‘epithet’ - (part of the name- is it’s descriptive word ) . This, combined with the ‘genus’ which gives the name for the species of plants in this case. Then the third part of the science name is known as the ‘authority’ . This is credited to the person or expert giving the details and naming the plant.





A plant is researched thoroughly in detail-where parts of a plant have specific names and the plant's name itself hold a lot of information to how it became named and why. I find a plant's name like a little encyclopedia in itself.
