Phytoremediation may refer as remedy of something with the help of plants, on the other hand bioremediation may define as the remedy of anything by using organisms or living things. In greater sense, Phytoremediation seems to be under bioremediation. Is it fact?
Yes, phytoremediation is a bioremediation process that uses various types of plants to remove pollutants from soil and water.
Definitely!. You can also have phycoremediation or mycoremediation. Bio-and physico-chemical remediation fall under remediation
Yes, Phytoremediation is when plants are used in remediation schemes, bioremediation, however is a wider term that mainly indicates the use of microorganisms (acclimated or engineered) in the detoxification of waste. Before the term Phytoremediation was introduced 25 years ago, we used to write "plant-assisted bioremediation" when plants were used as part of a bio-remediation schemes.
Hi,
I agree with Ziad,
The main difference between bioremediation and phytoremediation is that bioremediation is the use of living organisms to degrade, transform .... or stabilize environmental pollutants. Phytoremediation involves using plants to remove these pollutants. However, some of the bioremediation strategies include the use of local microorganisms..... and also phytoremediation.

off course phytoremediation is the second important branches of bio remediation
Yes, phytoremediation is a subset of bioremediation because plants are living organisms.
Obviosuly, it is a type of bioremediation by plants instead of microorganisms.
Thanks
Dear Prof Md. Abul Kalam Azad , Yes, as bio means life and plants come under lifeforms. Phytoremediation is a sub-branch of bioremediation actually.
Md. Abul Kalam Azad Yes, any methods having biological components involved.
Yes, plants are also living entity of the earth and are under the biological consideration. So phytoremediation are also called bioremediation. The bioremediation is a broad term and the phytoremediation is the sub-categories or branch of the bioremediation.

I agree with Dr Arvind Singh because phytoremediation is an eco-friendly, cost-effective in situ bioremediation method by which plants accumulate, sequester, or degrade contaminants from soil by their innate capabilities. Bioremediation is the process/method which detoxifies the heavy metals with the help of microorganism in environment. Phytoremediation process which helps to absorb the Heavy metals in the soil by using plants and trees to remediate the soil.Bioremediation is a method of removing pollutants or contaminants from ecosystems with the help of microbes or plants. Phytoremediation is a type of bioremediation that removes contaminants with the use of plants
