Typically have soft, green stems and are often used for culinary, medicinal, or aromatic purposes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shrubs<\/strong>: Medium-sized, woody plants with multiple stems growing near the ground (e.g., rose, hibiscus). Shrubs are usually bushy and can live for many years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trees<\/strong>: Tall, woody plants with a single main stem or trunk (e.g., oak, pine). Trees have a long lifespan and can grow to be very large.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-8b4364ca6f0342eeaab6c8fd958dc852\" style=\"color:#000060\"><strong>Growth Habit and Structure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-large-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Herbs<\/strong>: Generally grow close to the ground and do not have a significant woody structure. Their stems are tender and can be easily broken.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shrubs<\/strong>: Have a woody structure but are shorter than trees. They have multiple branches coming from the base or just above the ground.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trees<\/strong>: Have a prominent woody trunk that supports branches, leaves, flowers, and fruits. The trunk grows thicker with age, and trees can live for hundreds of years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-fab07968d3a1ca746d0da9c69641b5b3\" style=\"color:#000060\"><strong>Lifespan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-large-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Herbs<\/strong>: Usually annuals or biennials; they complete their life cycle in one or two seasons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shrubs<\/strong>: Perennials, meaning they live for several years. They shed their leaves seasonally, depending on the species.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trees<\/strong>: Long-lived perennials, with some species living for decades to centuries.
