Biomorphology is a branch of science and biology, which studies the shape and structure of animals, plants and microorganisms as a whole and their components. Morphology is often opposite to physiology, which studies function, but function is closely related to structure, and the two cannot be completely separated.
The knowledge of morphology is very important for other biological disciplines, especially medicine, veterinary medicine and plant pathology. The research methods of morphology mainly include chemical methods and microscopic techniques. With the development of microscope and other technologies, the field of morphological research has expanded from macroscopic to macromolecular level.

Influence of biological morphological structure:
1, people imitate the skin structure of dolphins and make artificial dolphin skin-sheet flow membrane with rubber. Mounted on a submarine, the bumps are reduced by 50%, and the sailing speed of the submarine is greatly improved.
2. Inspired by beehives, people imitate honeycomb structural materials and use them in buildings. Honeycomb structural materials have the advantages of light weight, high strength and rigidity, and good heat and sound insulation performance. At the same time, the application of this structure has gone far beyond the architectural world. It has been applied to the wings of airplanes, rockets in space and even our daily modern furniture.
3. Penguin's motor organs have become very suitable for running in the snow. As long as it throws itself on the ground, sticks its stomach to the snow and kicks its feet to ski, it can move forward quickly. Inspired by it, people have developed off-road vehicles, which can travel quickly in snow and muddy areas with a speed of up to 50 kilometers per hour.
