Abstract—The main patterns of expression of the morphological polyvariance of plants are discussed: diver-
sity 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.

Key words: plant populations, plant ontogeny, polyvariance of ontogeny, morphogenesis, biomorphs.
