Jan van Helmont was a 17th-century Belgian chemist and physician known for his pioneering work in the field of plant physiology and for being one of the early figures in the study of gases. He is famous for conducting experiments that led him to conclude that plants gain mass primarily from water, rather than soil. His work laid the foundation for later developments in understanding photosynthesis and plant growth. Additionally, van Helmont is credited with coining the term "gas" in reference to the substances he studied.
