Expert Solution
Step 1: Introducing scientific experiments

Scientific experiments are methodical, controlled investigations carried out by researchers to test hypotheses, identify correlations between variables, or respond to specific queries in the field of science. These experiments use a standardised methodology that involves manipulating one or more independent variables while assessing the results or impacts (structured variables) in order to obtain empirical evidence and make decisions solely based on the analysis of the available data. In order to advance our knowledge of the herbal world and provide support for scientific beliefs, scientific trials are essential.
