Question
Which plant habit is characterized by having multiple woody stems arising from or near ground level, without a single dominant trunk?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Shrubs are woody perennial plants, smaller than trees, that typically produce multiple woody stems arising from or near ground level, without a single dominant trunk. Trees have a single main woody trunk, while herbs are non-woody.
Hint
Consider the distinction between a tree's single trunk and a bushier growth form.
