Woody and herbaceous stems are what set apart monocots and dicots. Monocots typically have herbaceous stems, stems that are soft and bendable (and green). Dicots typically have woody stems, stems that are hard and brittle (and brown). The daisy in the photo has a herbaceous stem while the other plant has a woody stem. Ferns have herbaceous and roses tend to have woody stems.
