Hydroponic
Plants with soft and hollow stems are often found in wet or marshy environments, as this physical structure allows for buoyancy and flexibility. Some examples of plants with soft and hollow stems include cattails, bamboo, and bulrushes. These plants have evolved to thrive in waterlogged conditions where structural stability and nutrient transport are important factors.
Examples of plants with nonwoody stems include sunflowers, pansies, and impatiens. These plants have flexible, herbaceous stems that remain soft and fleshy even as they grow.

Examples of ligneous stems include trees, shrubs, and vines. These plants have thick, woody stems that provide structural support and allow for the transport of water and nutrients throughout the plant. Additionally, ligneous stems can display growth rings, a characteristic feature of many woody plants.
Water and Nutrients

Plants with very tough, strong stems are called woody plants. These plants have hard, rigid stems made of wood that provide support and structure for the plant. Examples of woody plants include trees, shrubs, and some vines.
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.
The hollow and ribbed stems of these plants help provide support and transport nutrients and water throughout the plant. This structural feature also allows for flexibility and resilience against wind or other physical stress.
