Some plants have woody stems because of where they have originated. Like how if a plant is a first generation hybrid and has in it's genes part of a larger plant, such as a tree, it might have inherited the characteristic of a woody stem from one of it's "parents". This scenario might also work as well if the plant was a second generation.
This is also why some plants have skinny or weak stems, like the bamboo tree.
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.

Yes Ixora being a dicot have a woody 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.
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.
Because a daisy's stem has less particles but if it had more,it would probably have a woody stem. Because tehe daisy head is light it doesn't need a stronger wooden stem, so it has evolved with a light flexible stem

Herbaceous stems are soft and flexible and typically die at the end of the growing season. These stems lack woody tissues and are found in many annual and perennial plants.
An example of a woody stem is a tree it has wood. An example of a non woody stem is a Lilly which is not a woody plant it has no wood.
Parsley is an herbaceous plant, meaning it has a non-woody stem that is soft and flexible.

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.
Plants with soft stems are known as herbaceous plants. They have soft, green stems that contain little or no wood. Some examples of this type of plant are: grapevines, ferns, grasses, ivies and tulips.
