Description:

Herbs (or 'herbaceous plants') are usually small or medium-sized plants. They do not have woody stems. Most are quite small because without woody stems and branches, they would collapse if they grew too big. Some herbs grow larger by climbing up trees. Daisies, Dandelions and Bluebells are all herbs.
