A woody stem is usually much bigger and has a woody coating, like a tree. A herbaceous stem is softer and more flexible, like a flower stem.
Parsley is an herbaceous plant, meaning it has a non-woody stem that is soft and flexible.
Herbaceous stems are soft, flexible, and typically green, while woody stems are hard, rigid, and covered with bark. Herbaceous stems usually die back in winter, while woody stems are more permanent and continue to grow year after year.
Is a tulip woody or herbaceous? tulip is herbaceous, because it is a monocot. secondary growth doesn't occur in monocots, whereas secondary growth produces cork, which is the woody stem found in dicots
breadfruit has a herbaceous stem!:) Edited answer; Being a tree breadfruit has woody stem
A tree has a massive trunk (stem), whereas a herbaceous plant has a very small stem

If a stem has cork cambium, it is typically considered woody. The cork cambium (phellogen) is responsible for producing cork cells in woody plants, forming part of the protective outer bark. Herbaceous plants generally lack this cork cambium layer.
Yes Ixora being a dicot have a woody stem.
No, the stem of a hibiscus plant is typically not woody. Hibiscus plants are known for their soft, herbaceous stems which are flexible and can be easily bent.
Woody dicot stems have a secondary growth that results in the formation of wood, while herbaceous dicot stems do not undergo secondary growth and remain soft. Woody dicot stems have a distinct vascular cambium that produces new xylem and phloem, allowing for increased thickness, while herbaceous dicot stems have a primary growth that results in only limited increase in thickness. Woody dicot stems typically have a bark that protects the inner tissue, while herbaceous dicot stems lack a well-defined bark.
You can determine whether a plant has a herbaceous or woody stem by examining its texture and structure. Herbaceous stems are typically soft, green, and flexible, lacking significant lignification, while woody stems are hard, rigid, and often brown due to the presence of lignin. Additionally, herbaceous plants usually die back to the ground in winter, whereas woody plants maintain their structure year-round. Observing the growth habit and the plant's overall lifespan can also provide clues; perennial shrubs and trees generally have woody stems, while annual and biennial plants often have herbaceous stems.
