Dendro

Dendro is a combining form derived from the Greek dendron meaning "tree." In scientific terminology, it appears in terms related to trees and woody plants. Dendrology is the branch of botany that studies trees, including their classification, distribution, morphology, and ecology. Dendrochronology is a dating method based on the analysis of tree-ring sequences, used in archaeology, geology, and climate research to infer past environmental conditions. The term also appears in adjectives such as dendritic or dendriform, which describe tree-like branching patterns in biology and geology, and dendrite in neuroscience, which refers to the branched projections of a nerve cell, though the etymology shares the same root.

In popular culture, Dendro is the plant-based elemental type in the video game Genshin Impact. In that
