Which describes herbaceous stems?
Stem - supporting structure of a plant, serving also to conduct and to store food materials. The stems of herbaceous and of woody plants differ: those of herbaceous plants are usually green and pliant and are covered by a thin epidermis instead of by the bark of woody plants. There is relatively more pith in herbaceous stems, and the cambium, which increases the diameter of woody stems, is usually almost inactive; it is therefore characteristic of herbaceous stems that, although they increase in height, their increase in diameter is small.

What advantages do plants with woody stems have over plants with herbaceous?
Herbaceous is any plant that makes new growth from ground level every year and all above-ground growth dies at the end of that season. Gardeners complicate things a little by usually applying the name only to fibrous-rooted plants, so although things like daffodils are herbaceous, they generally just get called bulbs. Herbaceous plants can be annual, biennial or perennial Woody stem has no meaning in gardening or botany, although perhaps you mean shrub? Herbaceous plants may have substantial stems, but they are never real wood - they are very often filled with pith to give rigidity
Do wild flowers with soft green stems have herbacious stems?
Yes. As you can see, herbaceous stems are soft and green while woody stems are thick, hard and woody. Stems can be of several sorts, herbaceous and woody. The herbaceous stems are green and fairly bendable. The woody stems as their name implies, are covered by bark. The herbaceous stem has more pith for its size. The cambium which causes woody stems to get bigger in width is not as active in the herbaceous stems. Most herbaceous plants are annuals or planted yearly. The herbaceous stem has little notches where leaves develop. Woody stems have scars where twigs and fruit have dropped off and little openings for transpiration.
