What is the difference between Mutant and Variant? What's their limitation (If there are)?

From a scientific point of view, the term morphotype should be used - a concept defining a separate unit in terms of morphology, for example, a group of plants belonging to one taxon but with a clearly different appearance. The diversity of morphotypes distinguished among individuals of one species may have a genetic basis, but they do not have to be genetically determined, but may result from phenotypic plasticity.
