In horticulture, how do shrubs differ from trees?

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Shorter with multiple stems from the base

Trees are typically defined by having a single, thick, woody trunk that grows to a considerable height above the ground.

Shrubs, in contrast, are generally shorter, woody plants that branch out into multiple stems close to or from the base rather than growing from one main trunk.

This difference in stem structure and growth height is the key horticultural distinction between shrubs and trees.
