Herb


Herb, in botany, soft-tissued plant that does not develop permanent woody tissues above ground. Such plants may be annual, biennial, or perennial. Herbaceous plants are generally considered to include soft-tissued angiosperms, or flowering plants, but may also include the ferns, club mosses, and horsetails. The term herb is applied by pharmacists to any plant or plant part that has medicinal properties. Herb parts that are used as food or seasoning are called culinary herbs or potherbs.
