stem plants

Stem plants are plants that grow mainly with their stems as the central structure supporting leaves, flowers, and branches. The stem acts as a transport highway, carrying water, nutrients, and food between roots and leaves. They can be herbaceous (soft and green, like basil) or woody (hard and brown, like oak trees). Stem plants can grow above or below ground and often have specialized features like nodes, internodes, or stems that store nutrients or help with reproduction. Examples include trees, shrubs, and many houseplants, all of which rely on their stems for support and nourishment.
