What kind of plants have soft flexible stems?

which is a very sall plant with soft stems


Which describes herbaceous stems?

Herbaceous stems are non-woody stems that are soft and green, usually found in herbaceous plants such as grasses, annuals, and certain perennials. These stems do not contain secondary growth tissues like lignin, which makes them flexible and able to grow rapidly.


Could the terms woody and herbaceous be used to describe other types of plants besides angiosperm?

Yes, the terms woody and herbaceous can be used to describe other types of plants besides angiosperms, such as gymnosperms (e.g., pine trees), ferns, and even some algae. Woody plants have hard, lignified tissues for support and structure, while herbaceous plants have softer, more flexible tissues.


How is support attained in herbaceous plants?

In herbaceous plants, support is attained through the presence of rigid cell walls in the stems and leaves. These cell walls provide structural support to the plant, helping it to stand upright. Additionally, some herbaceous plants may use mechanisms like thigmotropism (growth response to touch) to help them grow towards a support structure for additional stability.


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
