Amaranth

Amaranth is a diverse family known for its vibrant, often spiky flower clusters and simple, opposite leaves. These plants thrive in various environments, adapting uniquely to both arid and fertile landscapes. Their ability to store water allows them to sustain through diverse weather conditions, making them resilient and widespread. Morphologically, amaranth typically displays a robust stem structure that supports their colorful inflorescences, which are key to their identification.
