Woody stems can be more vulnerable to damage from extreme weather events, such as high winds or heavy snow, due to their rigidity. They may also have slower growth rates compared to herbaceous plants, limiting their ability to quickly recover from disturbances. Additionally, woody stems often require more resources, such as water and nutrients, to sustain their larger structure, which can be a disadvantage in resource-limited environments. Lastly, the energy investment in producing woody tissue can reduce the plant's ability to allocate resources to reproduction.

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.

Stems are important for providing structural support, transporting nutrients and water, and serving as a site for photosynthesis.

The flexibility or rigidity of stems depends on the amount and arrangement of fibers and cells within the stem tissue.
