The "daisy family," scientifically known as Asteraceae, is one of the largest families of flowering plants. It includes a wide variety of species, such as sunflowers, daisies, and chamomile. Members of this family are characterized by their composite flower heads, which consist of many small flowers grouped together, often surrounded by petal-like structures. Daisy family plants are found in diverse habitats around the world and can be annual, biennial, or perennial. They play important roles in ecosystems, providing food for pollinators like bees and butterflies. Many species are also used in traditional medicine and as ornamental plants in gardens.
