While "microbiology" encompasses the study of all microscopic organisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa, it also includes the study of microscopic plants and animals, which are often referred to as microorganisms.
Here are some specific terms related to the study of very small plants and animals:
* Phycology: The study of algae, which are microscopic plants.
* Protozoology: The study of protozoa, which are single-celled microscopic animals.
* Microphytology: The study of microscopic plants.
* Microzoology: The study of microscopic animals.
