Woody Plants

By David Beaulieu, About.com

Definition: Woody plants, by definition, are plants that have hard stems (thus the term, "woody") and that have buds that survive above ground in winter. For instance, trees (which are further broken down into the deciduous and evergreen categories) are woody plants. The opposite of "woody plants" is "herbaceous plants."
Common Misspellings: woodie plants
