Morphology means "the study of form".

No, not on the race track. "Form" here refers to the shapes of structures.

In Biology, plant morphology includes the study of the different shapes of leaves, for example, and root systems. Animal morphology studies the shapes of whole animals, or parts, including internal organs (e.g. liver morphology). Morphology is often linked to physiology: form and function. Biologists try to relate the shape and the functioning of structures in animals and plants. "Morphology" is also used in other contexts, such as geomorphology. Morphology is also a linguistics term, and involves the study of the structure of words in a language and the study of word formation.
