There are different types of stems. Some are weak, some are thick and some are hard and strong.
1) Trees have hard and thick stem called trunk, such as mango and coconut. 2) Shrubs have short, woody stems with branches growing near the ground, such as in a rose plant. 3) Climbers are plants with weak stem, and need support to grow upright. Example of climber is a money plant. 4) Creepers are plants which creep along the ground and have weak and soft stems. Example of creeper is watermelon plant.
