Herbaceous stems grow thicker as a result of cell division in the_____?
A) vascular cambium of the stem
B) apical meristem
C) bark
D) pericycle
** the awnser is A I took a quiz for Biology and got that question right. **
vascular cambium
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.
True of False : Herbacious stems are hard and rigid and have an outer layer called bark.
which is a very sall plant with soft stems
A cactus has a soft stem with sharp spikes.
b
Herbaceous stems are bendable and green.
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.
Herbaceous stems are flexible stems.

There are no differences; in fact they are completely unrelated to plants
1. Herbaceous stems and 2. Ligneous Stems Ta-Da!
Daylilies have a herbaceous stem. The old stems die and gardeners should compost them.
Chenopodium and Euphorbia
Non-woody stems are called herbaceous plants. (Hur~Ba~Shus)
Herbaceous stems do not grow very tall because they do not have stems alive above the ground year round like wood plant stems. Wood plant stems grow with age and remain alive all year round. An example of that is trees.
The two kinds of stems are- 1.Herbaceous stems-They do not have developed ligneous structures. They are generally frail 2.Ligneous stems-They have developed rigid, stiffened structures, what we normally know as "wood".
