Depends on which definition of "biometry" you are using. One
definition used to be an older name for what is now biostatistics (and
what might again become biometry, according to how some in the field
want to rename it again to make it more relevant to measurement and
design). That's a nice murky response, which shows how our language
is ill-defined.
There are other definitions, which have little to do with statistics.
