Key Concepts

Herbs

Very small plants with green and soft stems, like mint and coriander.

Shrubs

Medium-sized bushy plants with hard stems that branch near the base, like rose and tulsi.

Trees

Big and tall plants with thick, hard brown stems called trunks, like mango and neem.

Climbers

Plants with weak stems that need support to grow upwards, like the pea plant and money plant.

Creepers

Plants with weak stems that spread out along the ground, like watermelon and pumpkin.

Roots and Stem

Roots absorb water and minerals from the soil while the stem carries them to the rest of the plant.

Important Formulas

Plant = Roots + Stem + Leaves + Flowers + Fruits
