Abstract - Pisum sativum, commonly known as the garden pea, is a leguminous plant widely cultivated for its edible seeds. This paper explores the biology of P. sativum, including its anatomy, physiology, and genetics, particularly highlighting its role in the foundation of modern genetics through Mendel's experiments. It also delves into its ecological interactions, environmental requirements, and role in agroecosystems. Furthermore, the economic and nutritional value of P. sativum is discussed, covering its applications in agriculture, food industry, and emerging roles in sustainable farming and biotechnology.

Key Words: Pisum sativum, biology, ecology, nutritional value
