Why do some plants have soft stems and others have woody stems?
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.
