What is the definition of "herbaceous?"

Answer by  Jackie055 (44)

Herbaceous refers to the category of plants that die back in the winter. All of the leaves and stems die back, down to the level of the soil. In perennial herbaceous plants, a root system lies dormant under the soil and the plant will grow up again in the spring time.

This is the long word in botany for herbs, plants which die down to the ground at the end of the growing season, but survive underground.
