How it's used
Primarily used in formal or technical contexts related to botany and horticulture. While it describes a specific physical action, it is rarely used in everyday casual conversation unless discussing gardening hobbies or agricultural practices. It maintains a precise, scientific tone that distinguishes it from general terms for connecting or joining things.
Examples

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe joining non-biological objects, as it is strictly reserved for plant tissues. For joining mechanical parts or abstract concepts, use terms like 接駁 or 結合 instead.
