The main results are as follows: 1. the difference lies in the structure of the stem. The xylem of the stem of herbaceous plants is less developed, the xylem of the stems of woody plants is well developed, and the cell walls are mostly lignified.

2. The vascular bundles of herbaceous plants do not have cambium, so they can not continue to grow and thicken, while the vascular bundles of woody plants are visible into layers, and the longer the stem is, the thicker the stem can be.

3. The woody part of the vascular bundle of herbs is distributed on the outside, the phloem is distributed on the inside, and the woody plant is on the contrary.
