Data analysis used a descriptive quantitative method. The results of the study found that students' perceptions of the main parts of plants have not been entirely scientifically correct. Perception errors occur on the concept of taproot on roots of mangrove plants, determination of carrot stems, complete leaf arrangement and vein in banana plants. Thus it can be concluded that most students did not have a scientifically correct perception of the major parts of plants. Therefore, the recommendation from this study is that lecturers should use factual examples during their learning.
