These stems are often called herbaceous.

這些莖通常被稱為草本植物。

Since they don't contain the thick, lignified tissue found in woody plants, herb stems are more delicate and can easily be crushed or broken.

由於草本植物的莖不像木本植物那樣含有厚厚的木質化組織，是以草本植物的莖比較脆弱，很容易被壓斷或折斷。

This softness allows herbs to grow quickly, but also means they usually don't survive harsh conditions like winter without dying back. Herbs usually have one of the following stem types. 1.

這種柔軟性使草本植物生長迅速，但也意味著它們通常無法在冬季等惡劣條件下存活而不會枯死。草本植物通常有以下幾種莖幹類型。 1.

Square stems: Found in plants like mint or basil, where the stems are four-sided and can be easily felt when touched. 2.

方形莖：見於薄荷或羅勒等植物，其莖為四邊形，觸摸時很容易感覺到。2.

Round stems: More common, as seen in parsley or dill, where the stem is smooth and circular. 3.

圓形莖：較常見，如歐芹或蒔蘿，莖光滑呈圓形。3.

Hollow stems: Like in fennel or coriander, where the stem is tube-like and hollow inside.

中空的莖：如茴香或香菜，莖呈管狀，內部中空。

These stems are often packed with the aromatic oils that give herbs their distinctive flavors and scents.

這些莖通常含有芳香油，賦予草藥獨特的味道和香味。
