What is the difference between a herb and a spice?

A spice is any substance that is used to alter the flavor of food, which includes such things as salt, which is a mineral and not an herb, or cinnamon, which is derived from tree bark and thus is also not an herb. The term herb really applies only to a leaf that has some flavor that we value, such as basil or oregano. Many spices do not derive from leaves.
