Answer 1

Urtica dioica, often called common nettle, stinging nettle (although not all plants of this species sting) or nettle leaf, is a herbaceousperennial flowering plant in the family Urticaceae. It is native to Europe, Asia, northern Africa, and western North America,[1]and introduced elsewhere. The species is divided into six subspecies, five of which have many hollow stinging hairs called trichomeson the leaves and stems, which act like hypodermic needles, injecting histamine and other chemicals that produce a stinging sensation when contacted by humans and other animals.[2] The plant has a long history of use as a source of medicine, food, and fibre.
