Bo-Matoran represent the Element of Plantlife. Bo-Matoran also contain a very minuscule amount of Elemental Plantlife energy, to the point where they have an innate understanding of various attributes of a plant (such as poisons or potential medical usage). While many use this knowledge as Healers, there have also been accounts of them being farmers and gardeners.
Toa of Plantlife possess the Elemental Power of Plantlife, allowing them manipulate all sorts of plants.
Turaga of Plantlife possess small traces of Elemental Plantlife Energy.
Skakdi of Plantlife would only be able to access their power if they worked with another Skakdi, or if they carried a weapon allowing them to do so.

Those who wield Plantlife can be empowered by those who use Earth, Water, and Light.
Beings other than Toa and the Krahka cannot combine powers of any sort to create a Protodermis cage. As long as each wields a different element, providing that Light and Shadow are not included at the same time, any six Toa can create a Protodermis cage.
The Bo- prefix is most likely derived from "botany", which is the study of plants.
While Plantlife is one of the secondary Elements within the Matoran Universe, it is one of the primary six Elements of Spherus Magna. The reason for this is that there isn't as much flora within the Great Spirit Robot as there is on Spherus Magna. Also, there was greater need for Air than there was for Plantlife. As such, its prevalence was taken by the former.
In Matoran culture, the element's virtue was Patience.
