Is banyan a tree,herb, shrub

Answer 1

It's a tree not a herb or shrub.

Answer 2

Answer:

"BANYAN" is a "TREE"

Reason:

1. Herbs are non- woody, seed producing plants while shrubs are woody plants which contains many main stems arising near the ground. Trees are  perennials which are woody in nature, having a single trunk growing into a considerable height.

2. Herbs have soft stems which are non-woody while shrubs have thick stems which are not too hard.Trees always have thick and woody stems.

3. In herbs, stems don’t have branches while shrubs had branches arising from their base. Trees have branches arising from a single stem.

4. Herbs are shorter in size than shrubs while trees are the tallest among all.

Considering all these factors, one can clearly understand “Banyan” doesn’t come under the category of Herbs and Shrubs. We can see that Banyan had a woody stem which is too hard in nature and it has branches arising from a single stem. Hence, it is clear that “Banyan” is a “TREE”.
