Plant Types

Like humans, plants are dynamic species. They may be classified in different ways, such as the structure, the years they live, how they physically appear and so on. Here are the most general categories known of them for easier identification:

Cacti (Cactus)

Cactus is a drought plant. It can live in the hottest and driest places but may die in very wet areas. It has green, succulent stems where it stores water and spines all over them for protection against other species.

Flowers and Herbs

Herbs have many uses in everyday life. Among these are for medicinal, culinary, and spiritual uses. In most medicinal uses, all parts of herbs are used. The same is true when used for spiritual functions. But in culinary, only the leaves and/or flowers of the herb are usually used.

Shrubs and Bushes

These types of plants can be distinguished by its height. Shrubs and bushes are usually less than 6 meters tall and are woody. They may also have a lot of stems and covered with flowers of all shapes and sizes.

Trees

Trees are the harder version of shrubs and bushes, and they are available everywhere in the world. They are tall, huge, and highly useful in everyday life. Trees are necessary in preventing any chances of soil erosion and responsible for generating clean oxygen that we humans use to breathe.

Vegetables

Vegetable may sometimes be classified under shrubs, bushes, or herbs due to its structure but the name is naturally used as a culinary term. Vegetables are parts of plants like flower buds, stems, seeds, and fruits among so many others. They are edible and have many uses in culinary dishes.
