The crown of a plant refers to the totality of the plant's aboveground parts, including stems, leaves, and reproductive structures. A plant canopy consists of one or more plant crowns growing in a given area. For example, the crown of a woody plant (tree, shrub, liana) is the branches, leaves, and reproductive structures extending from the trunk or main stems.
Major functions of the crown include light energy assimilation via photosynthesis, energy release by respiration, and movement of water to the atmosphere by transpiration. These functions are performed by leaves. Branches of the crown provide mechanical support to distribute the leaves efficiently and serve as conduits for resources (water, nutrients, photosynthates) to perform these functions.

∙ 13y agoThe crown of the flora is the top of the flora. It can be grown in different 'shapes' to suit the particular biome (look at adaptations). The rainforest flora crown is rounded to allow sunlight from all angles.
And desert flora will often have a flat crown because they're on the equator so the only place the sun is, is directly above the flora.
