Abstract
The main patterns of expression of the morphological polyvariance of plants are discussed: diversity of biomorphs, pathways of ontogeny, and disturbances of morphogenesis. The diversity of biomorphs of tap root plants in different ecological conditions has been analyzed in detail. Promising directions of future studies have been formulated.
