In botany, stems are the main structural axes of vascular plants, providing support and transportation of water, nutrients, and photosynthates throughout the plant. Stems also serve as the site for growth and development of leaves, flowers, and fruits. Additionally, stems can exhibit various modifications such as thorns, tendrils, and storage structures to adapt to different environmental conditions and fulfill specific functions in the plant's life cycle.
Plants with soft stems are usually herbaceous, meaning they are non-woody and die back at the end of the growing season. Plants with woody stems have lignified cells that provide structural support, enabling them to grow taller and survive longer. The choice between soft and woody stems in plants is determined by various factors like the plant's growth pattern, environmental conditions, and evolutionary history.
