How are the herbs, shrubs, and trees different? Give examples.

Answer 1

Depending on the size, plants are classified into three groups:

1. Herbs: They are very small plants with soft and green stems. Eg. Mint, spinach.
2. Shrubs: They are medium-sized plants with woody stems. The branches are almost the same size arising from the stem immediately above the soil. e.g. Rose, jasmine.
3. Trees: Tall plants with thick, hard, and woody stem are called trees. They bear woody branches and leaves at some distance above the ground. e.g. Coconut, mango
