A densely-branched, low-lying shrub is what a bush is, and a low-lying, multiply-stemmed woody plant is what a shrub is.Specifically, all bushes are shrubs even though not all shrubs are bushes. Bushes are lower-lying than shrubs, which are lower-lying than trees. Bushes gets their dense look from either one stem which multiply branches or from many multiple stems.
