Answers
Explanation:
Plants can be classified on the basis of their height, stem and branches. On these parameters, plants can be of three types, viz. herbs, shrubs and trees.
Herbs: Herbs are small plants which have soft stem. Examples: Wheat, paddy, cabbage, grass, coriander, etc.
Shrubs: These are bushy and medium- sized plants and they are somewhat bigger than herbs. Their branches start from just above the ground. Examples: Lemon, Coriander, Henna, Rose, etc.
Tree: These are tall and large plants with hard and woody stem. A single main-stem arises from the ground. The main-stem is called trunk. The trunk gives out many branches at certain height. The branches carry leaves, flowers and fruits. Examples: Mango, banyan, acacia, coconut, poplar, willow, etc.
