Woody stem tissues are mainly composed of the ground tissue called "sclerenchyma." This type of tissue has two cell walls, which can provide more support for the large mass of the tree. Sclerenchyma tissue provides support for only mature plants, like old trees and large sunflowers. Woody stems also have lateral meristem, which causes the plants to grow thicker every year, which gives it support and makes it stronger.
Non-woody stem tissues, on the other hand, are made primarily of parenchyma and collenchyma tissues. Both of these tissues have one cell wall, but the cell wall of the collenchyma tissues ate thicker than those of the parenchyma tissues. The parenchyma is primarily used for photosynthesis, storage, and the healing of wounds. On the other hand, collenchyma is used for strengthening the plant for growth, but it only has one cell wall, so it is not as strong as the sclerenchyma.
Due to the fact that woody stems have the second cell walls, it fortifies them more and makes them a lot stronger.

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.

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.
