Complete answer:
Plants and vegetation of a region are called Flora.
Flora is the cumulation of all the plant life present in a particular area occurring at a particular time. The term flora is derived from the latin word meaning flower. Almost all members of a flora are autotrophic.
Fauna is the cumulation of all of the animal life present in a specific region at any given time. It is the corresponding term to flora. The term fauna was first used by Carl Linneaus in 1745.
Landscape is the mixture of all the features of a particular area of land and how they interact with each other whether man-made or natural. The natural elements of a landscape include mountains, hills, water bodies. The man-made elements of landscape include buildings and structures made anthropogenically.
Climate is the mean weather of a certain area over a long period of time. There are four main climates. They are:
-Temperate
-Arctic
-Tropical
-Subtropical

The term flora can be remembered with the help of the word flower. One can remember flora as flowers originate from plants. Flora means flower in Latin.
The term flora was also derived from the Roman goddess of spring and flowering plants- Flora. The collective term ‘flora and fauna’ refer to all the living organisms present in an area. The microorganisms in our gut are collectively called gut flora or intestinal flora.
