Types of plants

Plants are classified into 4 major categories :

  1. Trees - Trees are large plants with a single strong woody stem. Their stem is covered by bark.e.g. Neem, Mango, Banyan, Deodar etc. There are few trees with a non-woody stem. Banana and papaya trees have a non-woody stem.
  2. Shrubs - Shrubs are bushy plants. Many strong stems grow near the ground. They are generally smaller than trees. e.g. rose, lemon etc.
  3. Climbers - Climbers or creepers are plants with a weak stem. They cannot stand straight and thus grow along with other plants, walls or on the ground. e.g. money plant, melons etc
  4. Herb - Herb are small plants and known for their aromatic and medicinal usages. e.g. spinach, coriander and mint etc.
