** Morphology refers to the physical form and structure of living things,** while physiology refers to the way their bodies function.

To look at this in more detail, we can consider a plant, like a sunflower. The morphology of the sunflower includes its stem, leaves, roots, and flower. The physiology of the sunflower includes the way its cells take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen through photosynthesis. Similarly, an animal, like a dog, has morphology that includes a head, body, legs, and tail. Its physiology includes things like how its heart circulates blood, and how its lungs take in oxygen and release carbon(IV) oxide.
