Morphogenesis is the biological process that causes an organism to develop its shape.
It is one of three fundamental aspects of developmental biology along with the control of cell growth and cellular differentiation, where the plant growth completes.

The development of body form and organization is called morphogenesis. Consider a typical annual weed. We know that the development of the plant body is from meristems. The plant body may consist of billions of cells of different sizes and functionalities–but all derived from a single fertilized egg. We know that the growth and development, that occurs during the life of the plant results from both cell division and cell expansion. But we are not clear about the control of these processes.
Thus, Morphogenesis is the biological process that causes an organism to develop its shape. It is one of three fundamental aspects of developmental biology along with the control of cell growth and cellular differentiation, where the plant growth completes.
The process controls the organized spatial distribution of cells during the embryonic development of an organism. Morphogenesis can take place also in a mature organism, in cell culture or inside tumor cell masses.
