Trees: They are tall, have hard, thick and woody stems.
Shrubs: They are of medium height, have hard and woody stems.
Herbs: They are short and have tender, green and short stems.

A leaf is a thin expanded outgrowth arising from the node of a stem. The part of a leaf by which it is attached to the stem is called a petiole. The broad green part of the leaf is called lamina. The lines on the leaf are called veins. The thick vein in the middle of the leaf is called the midrib. The design made by the veins on the leaf is called venation. H the design is net-like, it is termed as reticulate venation whereas if the veins are parallel to each other, it is termed as parallel venation.
