Each category: 1 Mark

There are 5 categories of plants - herbs, shrubs, trees, creepers and climbers.
1. Herbs are non-woody plants that have green and tender stems with few branches.
2. Shrubs are taller than herbs and have stems branching out at the base.
3. Trees are tall, woody plants that have many branches on a single stem.
4. Creepers are the plants with weak stems that grow along the ground by slowly spreading themselves out.
5. Climbers are the plants that need support from other structures and they climb on them.
