Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a tree and a herb?
Trees are very big and tall with hard, thick brown stems called trunks. Herbs are very small plants with soft, green, and delicate stems.
Why do climbers need support?
Climbers have very weak and thin stems, so they cannot stand straight on their own and need a stick, wall, or another plant to climb up.
Which part of the plant stays under the ground?
The roots of the plant stay hidden under the soil and absorb water for the rest of the plant.
