Woody stems provide structural support to plants, allowing them to grow upright and reach sunlight for photosynthesis. Additionally, they transport water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves, flowers, and fruits. The durable nature of woody stems also helps protect plants from environmental stress and damage.
