Morphology (from the ancient Greek morphé = shape/form, logie = science) is the study of the structure and form of organisms. It is a branch of biology. The term was first popularised by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) in 1796 and independently by the physiologist Karl Friedrich Burdach (1776-1847) in 1800. Morphology provides the basic characteristics and structures used for the classification and taxonomy (hierarchical system in biology) of organisms (see under vine systematics).

Geomorphology is the study of the various surface forms of the earth (see soil type and geology). Hydromorphology describes the actual structures of watercourses.
